Simple install script using Homebrew

[noyannus]

Here is a skript to minimize hassle for Homebrew users. It is based on the fork by gpz500 (no issues accepted there).

Maybe it can be included in the Readme?

#!/bin/sh

brew install e2fsprogs m4 automake autoconf libtool pkg-config

if [ ! -d fuse-ext2 ]; then
  git clone https://github.com/alperakcan/fuse-ext2.git
fi

# When creating a package in a system where GNU cp shadows BSD cp, the -X option in make-pkg.sh must be deleted or the script fails.
if [ $(which cp) == /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/cp ]; then 
  sed -i 's/cp -pRX /cp -pR /' ./fuse-ext2/tools/macosx/make-pkg.sh 
fi

cd fuse-ext2
./autogen.sh
./configure \
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix e2fsprogs)/lib/pkgconfig" \
    CFLAGS="-idirafter/$(brew --prefix e2fsprogs)/include -idirafter/usr/local/include/osxfuse" \
    LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix e2fsprogs)/lib"
make

# To install on the current system
# sudo make install

# To create an install package in the current directory
make package             
mv fuse-ext2*.dmg ../fuse-ext2.dmg

thanks for your script ,But something wrong in Mac OS Catalina(10.15.5)

cp: ../../tools/macosx/prefpane/build/Release/fuse-ext2.prefPane: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [install-exec-local] Error 1
make[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [package] Error 2

If it is really a Catalina issue, I can't help you there, I'll be on Mojave for a while longer. The script completes successfully here, both with make package and make install.

Some ideas:

The script itself does not call cp, that is from one of the scripts it calls. You can try to call them each manually to find out more.

Check if /fuse-ext2/tools/macosx/prefpane/Build/Release/fuse-ext2.prefPane really doesn't exist. If not, the build has failed silently before the cp. If you are the only one to have this issue, there must be something specific to your system.

Try running the script with sudo, maybe you have a permissions issue?

@liqianimage I have had the same issue and fixed it (macOS Catalina 10.15.5)! May be it can solve your problem too.

Before the error:

cp: ../../tools/macosx/prefpane/build/Release/fuse-ext2.prefPane: No such file or directory

another error was reported:

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

I used the fix from this thread and restart the install script:

1. Install Xcode (get it from https://appstore.com/mac/apple/xcode) if you don't have it yet.
2. Accept the Terms and Conditions.
3. Ensure Xcode app is in the /Applications directory (NOT /Users/{user}/Applications).
4. Point xcode-select to the Xcode app Developer directory using the following command:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

confirm the script by @noyannus works like a charm. Fixing compile errors as I only had "xcode command line tools" installed like mentioned by @Ek1nox

I fixed the xcode error with @Ek1nox tip, greatly appreciated.

But died again during make on the step after, because of the following error:

note: Constructing build description
error: The i386 architecture is deprecated. You should update your ARCHS build setting to remove the i386 architecture. (in target 'fuse-ext2' from project 'fuse-ext2')
warning: Traditional headermap style is no longer supported; please migrate to using separate headermaps and set 'ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS' to NO. (in target 'fuse-ext2' from project 'fuse-ext2')

** BUILD FAILED **

make[3]: *** [prefpane] Error 65
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

This on OSX Catalina, which drops 32bit support. Any thing that can be done to make it run as 64 bit?

Can you open a PR to update the instructions with this? The build from source install script does not work on my apple m1. I get a similar issue with this one configure: error: Can't find libfuse, please install it. I think it is related to the odd way that homebrew supported big sur.
