script to assist building BFS_FUSE in other OS's

[mmadia]

As Haiku's source includes the BFS FUSE module, to allow access on other operating systems. It may be worthwhile to provide a helper script to checkout the related files and provide either the information or links to further information.

Assigning to myself as it'd probably be a shell script, but I've no immediate plans to work on it.

To note, this script may be helpful to other people who are willing to create pre-built packages for use with various Linux/BSD/... package managers.

Giving ownership up, as I've no immediate plans to implement this.

I've created a simple shell script​ that will checkout the necessary files and patch configure​.

After this initial set-up you can periodically build an updated bfs_fuse with:

git stash
git pull --rebase --no-tags origin HEAD
git stash pop
jam -q "<build>bfs_fuse"

[idefix]

Patch file needed by checkout_tree_and_configure.sh​.

Three years later and a couple of things have changed. Most notably the configure script doesn't need patching any more. I've updated the shell script​.

Simple shell script that will setup the tree for the building of 'bfs_fuse'.

I've tried the script on my OS X which ran fine, but then I couldn't compile bfs_fuse:

jam -q "<build>bfs_fuse"
No `BuildConfig' found in /Users/diver/Downloads/bfs_fuse/generated/build!
Run ./configure in the source tree's root directory first!

[idefix]

Unfortunately, I only tested this script on Linux (Ubuntu x86, x86_64 & arm). I don't know if it's even possible to build bfs_fuse on OS X.

A full tree checkout is needed (but a shallow clone is now possible and much smaller than it used to be). Just run ./configure --host-only to configure the build without cross-compilers, and then jam -q "<build>bfs_fuse".

It seems this is documented on the website, anyway: ​https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/access_bfs_with_fuse/

This is what i'm getting now on macOS 10.14:

./configure --host-only

stat: illegal option -- c
usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...]
./configure: line 556: [: -lt: unary operator expected

You need a case-sensitive file-system to build Haiku.
You can create a case-sensitive disk image using Disk Utility.
