#39 Can't compile owfs --enable-owfs. using last fuse3

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Can't compile owfs --enable-owfs. What I do:

I download and compile fuse 3.0.2:
ls -al /usr/local/include/fuse3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 2573 Jun 7 14:15 cuse_lowlevel.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 22352 Jun 7 14:15 fuse_common.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 38757 Jun 7 14:15 fuse.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 60225 Jun 7 14:15 fuse_lowlevel.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 7549 Jun 7 14:15 fuse_opt.h

ls -l /usr/local/lib

Do you really want to use the fuse binding of owfs? It has race issues which can't be fixed. The straightforward way to use OWFS is to use the owserver tool instead of the owfs tool and access the owserver with the owread/owwrite/owdir tools. Or with one of the language bindings.
