Compilation problems about macfuse

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I saw the EXACT error message you saw (and also probably have the same 
configuration: PPC G4 running OS X 
10.4.8)

I was running xcode 2.2.  When I upgraded that to 2.4, the compile worked. 
(Unfortunately, it's a gigabyte 
download from Apple. It would be nice to figure out if there's a workaround for 
2.2).  I noticed 0.9 was released 
but isn't available for download, so I tried compiling both 0.7 and 0.9 and 
both compile fine now.  

(Off topic: This may become a FAQ: What's the safe upgrade path?  Can I just 
replace the existing kernel module 
in place and reboot?)

paul.fredrickson: No, 0.1.9 (*not* 0.9) wasn't "released". Until it's available 
for download, it isn't released. The 
"upcoming release" message(s) on the mailing and other information in the Wiki 
is all preliminary -- for 
heads-up purposes -- until there is an actual binary release. Before the source 
tree is tagged for the binary 
release, it's more volatile too.

As for a safe upgrade path, it would be best to install the latest binary 
release. If you want to keep up-to-date 
with the bleeding edge changes in the source tree, you will have to figure what 
you need to replace based on 
what source was changed. Rules of thumb (I'm ignoring some dependencies here):

* If fusefs/*.[ch] are changed, you need to replace the kext
* If fusefs/mount/* are changed, you need to replace mount_fusefs
* If fusefs/load/* are changed, you need to replace load_fusefs
* If libfuse/*.patch are changed, you need to recompiled the user-space library

You do need Xcode 2.4. I've added this requirement to the HOWTO so that others 
don't trip over this.

(Just ran into this problem myself.)

To deal with this under 2.2:

After failure on...

/usr/bin/gcc -E -P -x c -Wno-trigraphs \
/Users/bs/Documents/code/macfuse/fusefs/build/fusefs.build/Release/fusefs.build/
Info.plist \
-o 
/Users/bs/Documents/code/macfuse/fusefs/build/Release/fusefs.kext/Contents/Info.
plist

... you can cd to the relevant directory and rerun the command with an 
additional "-I." switch. Running "port 
install fusefs" a second time will now work. 

I'm not an Xcode guy, but I bet it's easy to add this switch to the project...
