#149 Have a documented way to build fuse against a local libspectrum.

[F.A.]

See #496.

Users should have a well documented way to compile and install fuse locally, without requiring sudo, against a local libspectrum. This would help testers reproducing on latest release and QA in general.

Under Win32 this is not a problem.
make install creates a subfolder with compiled stuff. It just needs few additional DLL files + libspectrum.dll and works. I have several parallel setups like that ( originally installed, devel build, testing build, etc..)

Instructions how to build Fuse for win32 are documented here
https://sourceforge.net/p/fuse-emulator/wiki/Home/

Instructions for linux are in readme files
https://sourceforge.net/p/fuse-emulator/libspectrum/ci/master/tree/README
https://sourceforge.net/p/fuse-emulator/fuse/ci/master/tree/INSTALL

But it's true that instructions how to use different path for Libspectrum are limited to "ask local guru".

In theory, when compiling Libspectrum, it allows to specify a prefix dir where the lib will be eventually installed. Meaning it could be then installed within user folder, without sudo.
Maybe:
--with-local-prefix=PFX local libraries installed in PFX (optional)
or just ..
--prefix=<dir>

Then when building fuse, ./configure --help mentions these env. variables:

LIBSPECTRUM_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for LIBSPECTRUM, overriding pkg-config
LIBSPECTRUM_LIBS
              linker flags for LIBSPECTRUM, overriding pkg-config

And where is it gonna be installed is I think
--prefix=<dir>

When compiling libspectrum and fuse, try specifying --prefix=<dir> pointing to your dedicated user folder (not system folder). Maybe it will work.

./configure --prefix /home/f/media/vcs/fuse-1.6.0/usr/ does not work (still get Requested 'libspectrum >= 1.5.0' but version of libspectrum is 1.4.4). I would not know what to put in:

LIBSPECTRUM_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for LIBSPECTRUM, overriding pkg-config
LIBSPECTRUM_LIBS
              linker flags for LIBSPECTRUM, overriding pkg-config
