Installing on macOS

[neofright]

Hi,

Thanks for this project. I'm excited to try it as an alternative to sshfs or an sftp server.

I am already using fuse-t as I am on macOS. When trying to install plex-fuse with pipx I get the following compilation errors:

Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
    /Users/neofright/.local/pipx/logs/cmd_2024-04-24_13.48.19_pip_errors.log

pip failed to build package:
    fuse-python

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
    error: subprocess-exited-with-error
    fuseparts/_fusemodule.c:1394:2: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'int (*)(const char *, const char *, char *, size_t, uint32_t)' (aka 'int (*)(const char *, const char *, char *, unsigned long, unsigned int)') from 'int (const char *, const char *, char *, size_t)' (aka 'int (const char *, const char *, char *, unsigned long)') [-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types]
    fuseparts/_fusemodule.c:1396:2: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'int (*)(const char *, const char *, const char *, size_t, int, uint32_t)' (aka 'int (*)(const char *, const char *, const char *, unsigned long, int, unsigned int)') from 'int (const char *, const char *, const char *, size_t, int)' (aka 'int (const char *, const char *, const char *, unsigned long, int)') [-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types]
    error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit code 1

Error installing plex-fuse.

Do you have any experience or pointers for overcoming this issue?

I am developing this on macOS, and it just works. both x86_64 and arm64.

However, I'm not sure what fuse implementation it used. might be that it used osxfuse even I had fuse-t installed.

on x86_64 system I have:

➜ brew info osxfuse
Warning: Formula osxfuse was renamed to homebrew/cask/osxfuse.
==> osxfuse: 3.11.2

From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/HEAD/Casks/o/osxfuse.rb

if you're able to reproduce building wheel on github actions, libfuse maintainer maybe accepts adding it to pypi:

• Add more wheels to pypi libfuse/python-fuse#63

and in any case, if you want to fix compilation errors, then it's this project:

• https://github.com/libfuse/python-fuse

No problem, thanks. I appreciate the reply. If I do manage to get python-fuse to work for me I'll reply here.

I relealized i could just share wheel built on my system, and I already did that for linux:
