configure: error: FUSE not found on Mac 13.5.1

[rgaufman]

I installed MacFuse from https://osxfuse.github.io - version 4.5.0 (and jumped through hoops to allow the kernel module, etc).

I downloaded binds 1.17.4 but when I run configure, it won't find FUSE - any ideas?

You might need pkg-config.

Alternatively, try installing XCode and then xcode-select --install

If those don't help, then MacFuse's headers/library might not be found by the developer tools for whatever reason. You may want to try installing MacFuse via Homebrew or perhaps try fuse-t.

Ah, you are right, once I ran brew install pkg-config, it compiled and seems to be working, thank you!

Thank you, unfortunately it is not working :(

I ran:

bindfs /Volumes/Drive1_2TB/iCloud /Users/hackeron/Library/Mobile\ Documents
bindfs /Volumes/Drive1_2TB/Messages /Users/hackeron/Library/Messages

It seems to be working, but when I turn iCloud or iMessage on, it just refuses to write anything there and the apps just hang, not sure why :(

No idea, sorry, I barely ever use macs :/ fuse-t might be worth a try, since a good chunk of bindfs issues have turned out to be underlying FUSE issues.
