Failed to make TabFS even though macFUSE 4.0.4 being installed.

[harukaeru]

The below is the error message as I try to install TabFS.

$ cd fs
$ make
cc -I/usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse -L/usr/local/lib -D_DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE -DFUSE_USE_VERSION=26 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall -Wno-unused-function -g -o tabfs tabfs.c -losxfuse
ld: library not found for -losxfuse
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [tabfs] Error 1

Apparently, macFUSE 4.0.4 set a header file as /usr/local/include/fuse/fuse.h, not /usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse.h.

That is why, in my case, I edited Makefile and changed a line LIBS = -losxfuse into LIBS = -lfuse. It seems to work so far.
Actually, this resolved my problem. However I wanted to share this problem because there should be some instructions about this case on documentation for the convenience to other users.

Thanks for this - ran into the exact same issue.

[andrewjuey]

this fix worked perfectly

[junhoyeo]

$ make
cc -I/usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse -L/usr/local/lib -D_DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE -DFUSE_USE_VERSION=26 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall -Wno-unused-function -g -o tabfs tabfs.c -l osxfuse
ld: library not found for -losxfuse
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [tabfs] Error 1

I was facing the same issue like above, and then this worked for me too.

I had the same issue while running make even after installing as described at osxfuse/osxfuse.

Managed to get it working by installing from Homebrew directly, Ref.
brew install --cask osxfuse

I worked around this issue by symlinking the lib so that it didn't have the .2 in the filename:

# cd /usr/local/lib
# ln -s libosxfuse.2.dylib libosxfuse.dylib

[osnr]

thanks! I've linked this issue from the page for now.

I probably need to go through this whole install process end to end on my (clean) other laptop and figure out a pathway that definitely works on Mac, so I can properly update the doc -- it seems like there are like least 3 different ones that have come up just in this thread (and maybe some people already have FUSE installed, etc).

Another vote for @harukaeru 's fix:

edited Makefile and changed a line LIBS = -losxfuse to LIBS = -lfuse

This is with both OSXFiuse 3.12 from HomeBrew and 4.0.2 from osxfuse from github

Just tried upgrading to the latest version and am now getting the following error from make:

Built without issue last week.

@erikcw Looks like you're on a mac -- what version of macFUSE are you using? I ran into this as well, and it helped me to:

1. Update to the latest version of macFuse (4.0.5). I installed originally with homebrew, so I ended up removing the osxfuse cask and installing the dmg from their website.

2. Follow @ebridges suggestion above to symlink the fuse lib to remove the .2:

   cd /usr/local/lib
   ln -s libosxfuse.2.dylib libosxfuse.dylib
   

Reboot for good measure, and verify your macFuse version by going to System Preferences > macFUSE

[erikcw]

@shawntax That did it. homebrew was installing macFuse 3.x.

Did not end up needed the symlink in step 2.

Thank you!
