Windows compatibility (Dokany)?! #129

Closed nschoellhorn closed 1 year ago

nschoellhorn commented 3 years ago

Hi, first of all, thanks for forking and keeping this alive! I just switched my project gdrivefs-rust to this library instead of the original one since this looks a lot more maintained and you also added some of the newer features of FUSE, which I really appreciate.

I was wondering if there's any chance that you might make this library compatible to Dokany, so this can be used in software for Windows as well? Most likely, this means removing the references to the Unix/Linux-native stuff (e.g. in fuse-sys), like you already began to do for being able to build without libfuse.

Most interesting thing here will be mounting I guess, because as far as I understood, when building without "libfuse" feature, you are trying to mount via the binary installed on the system and the Dokany distribution doesn't install one I guess.

What are your thoughts on adding Windows compatibility? Thanks!

Ya, I'd be happy to merge a PR for that, as long as it doesn't add too much maintenance burden. It sounds like may have a compatibility layer, so this might be as simple as changing build.rs to link against it like is done for MacFUSE.

There's also https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfuse which implements the low-level FUSE API. See also https://github.com/zargony/fuse-rs/issues/76

I would also love to see this. I tried setting up winfuse but fuser uses the users package, which seems to be Unix specific.

is winfuse supported now？and if windows is not supported now, do we have plan to support it in future?
