Compilation from source code

These are generic instructions should work on almost any GNU/Linux, macOS, BSD, or similar.

If you want specific instructions for some distributions, check the wiki.

Keep in mind using the pre-built packages when available.

1. Ensure your system satisfies build and runtime dependencies for:

• fuse >= 2.8.4
• automake
• gcc-c++
• make
• libcurl
• libxml2
• openssl
• mime.types (the package providing depends on the OS)
  • s3fs tries to detect /etc/mime.types as default regardless of the OS
  • Else s3fs tries to detect /etc/apache2/mime.types if OS is macOS
  • s3fs exits with an error if these files are not exist
  • Alternatively, you can set mime.types file path with mime option without detecting these default files
• pkg-config (or your OS equivalent)

2. Then compile from master via the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse.git
cd s3fs-fuse
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

Compilation on Windows (using MSYS2)

On Windows, use MSYS2 to compile for itself.

1. Install WinFsp to your machine.

2. Install dependencies onto MSYS2:

   pacman -S git autoconf automake gcc make pkg-config libopenssl-devel libcurl-devel libxml2-devel libzstd-devel
   

3. Clone this repository, then change directory into the cloned one.

4. Copy WinFsp files to the directory:

   cp -r "/c/Program Files (x86)/WinFsp" "./WinFsp"
   

5. Write fuse.pc to resolve the package correctly:

   cat > ./fuse.pc << 'EOS'
   arch=x64
   prefix=${pcfiledir}/WinFsp
   incdir=${prefix}/inc/fuse
   implib=${prefix}/bin/winfsp-${arch}.dll
   
   Name: fuse
   Description: WinFsp FUSE compatible API
   Version: 2.8.4
   URL: http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/
   Libs: "${implib}"
   Cflags: -I"${incdir}"
   EOS
   

6. Compile using the command line:

   ./autogen.sh
   PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$(pwd)" ./configure
   make
   

7. Copy binary files to distribute at one place:

   mkdir ./bin
   cp ./src/s3fs.exe ./bin/
   cp ./WinFsp/bin/winfsp-x64.dll ./bin/
   cp /usr/bin/msys-*.dll ./bin/
   

8. Distribute these files.
