HOWTO

# FUSE
# ====
# This one covers FUSE 2.*

# Slackware 13.37, 14.0, 14.1: fuse 2.8.5
# Slackware 14.2: fuse 2.9.5
# Check 'patches' for updates
#
# Slackware-current (will be 15.0) includes a 'fuse3' package

# Prerequisites:
!! # Ninja
!! # Python 3.x (for Meson and to test it)
# Linux kernel >= 2.6.14 with FUSE enabled
# udev

# Kernels > 2.6.14 already contain FUSE support, so the kernel module in the
# FUSE package will not be compiled if you have a newer kernel installed.

# See the README if you use a 2.4.x kernel

# If you ever want to uninstall FUSE, or if you want to clean up files
# from old versions before installing a new one, skip down to the bottom.
# A previous update to this HOWTO (in 2011) let FUSE install in to
# /usr/local, but I use the /use prefix now to match Slackware's package.

!! # Install Meson
!! su -c "pip3 install meson"

# Get it

# For info about using it, see ./README.md, the kernel module's readme:

# Everything is set up by default to install an init script as
# /etc/init.d/fuse and run update-rc.d (if it exists, which it doesn't),
# to create the start/stop symlinks.  In Slackware, typically
# /etc/init.d is a symlink to the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory.  So, as long
# as you've got Slackware's /etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit script, and it's
# executable, and you have at least the following directories created:
#   /etc/rc.d/init.d
#   /etc/rc.d/rc0.d
#   /etc/rc.d/rc1.d
#   /etc/rc.d/rc6.d
# ...and have the /etc/init.d symlink created, then you should be fine with
# 'make install' below.  Otherwise you may want to look in to changing
# configure.ac or the Makefile(s).  ...or remove /etc/init.d/fuse and
# /etc/init.d (if empty) and copy util/init_script as /etc/rc.d/rc.fuse,
# which would be run by /etc/rc.d/rc.S on boot-up if it's executable.

# Configure the build for 64-bit
test $(uname -m) = 'x86_64' &&

# Install it

# If you have the /etc/rc.d/init.d/fuse script, make sure the
# start/stop symlinks are set up.  This requires a Slackware with the
# /etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit script.  If you don't have that, make it
# /etc/rc.d/rc.fuse instead and run that out of rc.local
