this is a guide for building fuse applications along with fuse-t on ARM Mac OS.

A little bit different build processes will occur depending on whether you have installed pkg-config or not (pkg config can help you with some flags so you don’t have to follow the procedures below but might lead to complications such that library version mismatches or requiring both .framework and .dylib data)

Should work for both ways tho.

As with any other build config, just remember to add -I/path/to/include to cflags/cxxflags/cppflags, -L/path/to/lib -F/Library/Frameworks -f framework_name to LDFLAGS. If linker error still happens, you will need to pass linker options to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/CPPFLAGS also, such that, -Wl,-F,/Library/Frameworks -Wl,-f,framework_name -Wl,-L,/path/to/lib

Whenever you run a binary file, do it with DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Library/Frameworks DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/lib env variables.

I haven’t tested yet, but fuse-t feels way slower than osxfuse, esp with ntfs-3g capped at 20MB/s or so..

ext4fuse

Required Frameworks: fuse_t

build

#!/bin/bash
export CFLAGS=-I/Library/Frameworks/fuse_t.framework/Headers/
export LDFLAGS="-F/Library/Frameworks -framework fuse_t"
make

run

#!/bin/bash

cd $HOME/Desktop
DIRN="/Volumes/fuse$(date +%s%N)"
sudo mkdir "$DIRN"
sudo DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Library/Frameworks ./ext4fuse/ext4fuse -o nfc "/dev/$1" "$DIRN"

# for osxfuse you can do something like "-o modules=iconv,from_code=UTF-8,to_code=UTF-8-MAC"

# if you want to use nfd, just delete "-o nfc" option

fuse-ext2

Required Frameworks: fuse_t Required dylibs: e2fsprogs (now can be retrieved via homebrew, without the e2fsprogs’ very own fancy fuse script.)

ntfs-3g

Required Frameworks: fuse_t

Plz use the forked version at https://github.com/macos-fuse-t/ntfs-3g

(or maybe you can make a custom fuse.pc file with modified versions?)

#!/bin/bash

git clone https://github.com/macos-fuse-t/ntfs-3g
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
brew install macos-fuse-t/homebrew-cask/fuse-t
brew install gcc make autoconf automake libtool libgcrypt pkg-config
export CFLAGS=-I/Library/Frameworks/fuse_t.framework/Headers/
export LDFLAGS="-F/Library/Frameworks -framework fuse_t"
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix="$PWD" --host=aarch64-darwin --exec-prefix="$PWD"
make -j
make install

#!/bin/bash

sudo diskutil umount "$1"

sudo mkdir "$DIRN"
