FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. Fuse also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.3 platform.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/fuse
Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary:
File systems --->
<*/M> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support [CONFIG_FUSE_FS]
Install Fuse by running the following commands:
sed -i '/^udev/,$ s/^/#/' util/meson.build && mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr .. && ninja
The API documentation is included in the package, but if you have Doxygen-1.8.14 installed and wish to rebuild it, issue doxygen doc/Doxyfile.
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install &&
mv -vf /usr/lib/libfuse3.so.3* /lib &&
ln -sfvn ../../lib/libfuse3.so.3.2.5 /usr/lib/libfuse3.so &&
mv -vf /usr/bin/fusermount3 /bin &&
mv -vf /usr/sbin/mount.fuse3 /sbin &&
chmod u+s /bin/fusermount3 &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/fuse-3.2.5 &&
install -v -m644 ../doc/{README.NFS,kernel.txt} \
/usr/share/doc/fuse-3.2.5 &&
cp -Rv ../doc/html /usr/share/doc/fuse-3.2.5
sed ... util/meson.build: This command disables the installation of a boot script and udev rule that are not needed.
mv ... libfuse3.so.3*; ln ... libfuse3.so: These commands install the libraries in the /lib directory.
unzip ...: This uncompresses the installed man pages to be consistent with the rest of the man pages.
Some options regarding mount policy can be set in the file
/etc/fuse.conf. To install the file
run the following command as the root user:
cat > /etc/fuse.conf << "EOF" # Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users. # The default is 1000. # #mount_max = 1000 # Allow non-root users to specify the 'allow_other' or 'allow_root' # mount options. # #user_allow_other EOF
Additional information about the meaning of the configuration options are found in the man page.
