FreeBSD not supported (vendor/github.com/hanwen/go-fuse/v2/fuse/types.go:557:2: undefined: Attr)?

Dear all,

I currently try to make a package for FreeBSD for gocryptfs (github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs).
But while compiling it, I see error messages like:

# github.com/hanwen/go-fuse/v2/fuse
vendor/github.com/hanwen/go-fuse/v2/fuse/types.go:557:2: undefined: Attr

Could it be, that go-fuse does not work on FreeBSD 13.1 amd64?

Thanks a lot for any kind of help.

See #366.

Thanks @da2x, that matches the problem.
I look a little bit through the code but I see that the package syscall is used:
https://github.com/hanwen/go-fuse/blob/master/fuse/types.go#L9

What I understand from here:
https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/design/freeze-syscall.md

That syscall is frozen and replaced by golang.org/x/sys:
https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/sys@v0.0.0-20220704084225-05e143d24a9e

So before we could even think about getting FreeBSD support into this module I think a migration from syscall to x/sys is required.

I'm new to go, so not everything is perfectly clear for me.
