Re: [Moosefs-users] Question re: win32 client/access

[JJ <jj...@ci...>]

What would be the correct ./configure options|command to install 
mfsmount on a working mfsmaster?

I tried ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/mfs 
--localstatedir=/var/lib --with-default-user=mfs 
--with-default-group=mfs --disable-mfschunkserver && make

with a find looking for it. Nothing.

Tried fewer options (--disable*), no joy.

Thank you for your time.
