Installing dependencies on macOS: issue with osxfuse/macfuse
scottmeup opened this issue · 9 comments
brew install encfs
and brew install gocryptfs
as listed under Installing dependencies on macOS, no longer work.
Using macfuse as a cask dependency seems to be unsupported according to this discussion Homebrew/discussions#1250
perhaps this should be reported to the encfs / gocryptfs guys as well?
Found these 2 issues for encfs:
vgough/encfs#630
vgough/encfs#629
Just wondering: have you tried installing macFUSE using the dmg from https://osxfuse.github.io/?
Hi, thanks for the reply. I have installed the package from https://osxfuse.github.io/
If I understand correctly, the brew recipes for encfs & gocryptfs have been disabled regardless of whether macfuse / osxfuse is installed.
ah yes, not sure why they have disabled the recipes... I guess someone will come up with a solution
I'll close the issue here (as it is not a pyencfsgui issue)
Awesome, just thought it might be useful info as the readme mentions those methods for installing dependencies on macOS.
Cheers ;)
True, I'll add a note, but I guess we'll have to wait for them to come up a solution
Yeah, definitely. Macports offers encfs, unfortunately I didn't see a gocryptfs port.
ah good to know - have you tried installing via macports? did it work?
do you happen to have the instructions, so I can put them in the readme?
thanks!
encfs via macports works fine for me, ymmv; it looks like it doesn't build on all major releases of macOS according to the port page https://ports.macports.org/port/encfs/builds
Macports' install instructions & package download are available here https://www.macports.org/install.php
Once you've run through those instructions it's recommended to update macports with sudo port selfupdate
, then you can install enfcs with sudo port install encfs
As for gocryptfs, people might just have to compile it themselves.
