Compiling in 2020

[tom-adsfund]

I've tried to compile, after having installed libfuse-dev and the latest version of libcfg+ in Ubuntu, but I get the following output:

cc -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/fuse -lfuse -pthread -O2 -Wall  -lcfg+ -DVERSION=\"0.0.9\" fuseflt.c -o fuseflt
fuseflt.c: In function ‘main’:

Would be great to be able to use this in 2020!

Compile and install libcfg+ from here: http://opensource.platon.sk/projects/release_view_page.php?release_id=74

Thanks very much.

I'm not familiar with C, but is there a way to make a release binary that's portable across some number of distros/kernels? Or is that made impossible by FUSE being so deeply embedded with the OS?

It probably won't work without distro maintainer support, since each of them probably will need different binary.

I compiled it and seems to be still working in 2022 for me.

I'm also not familiar with C too much.

I did those steps on debian 10

For libcfg+ i did
./configure
make
make install
Then run "ldconfig" to refresh libraries in os.

Next simply compile fuseflt.
according to readme https://github.com/thkala/fuseflt/blob/master/README
make
make install
It should put binary in /usr/local/bin/fuseflt according to documentation.

Personally I manually compiled it so not sure how make install works for fuseflt itself.

You might need to install extra libraries since i installed python-fuse. Not sure if that installed any extra libraries.
