brew doctor output

Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: Unbrewed '.pc' files were found in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.

Unexpected '.pc' files:

• I ran brew update and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I have resolved all warnings from brew doctor and that did not fix my problem.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

I want to install ext4fuse because I don't want to buy Paragon's extFS. I need to be able to read/write on my Linux partitions (external drives).

What happened (include all command output)?

Error: ext4fuse has been disabled because it requires FUSE!

What did you expect to happen?

Its installation to proceed successfully and be usable.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

1) brew install --cask macfuse
2) brew install ext4fuse

You might want to check the previous issues and discussions related to this (such as Homebrew/homebrew-core#77932 and a few more). The formula has been disabled because FUSE is not open source and we do not allow non-open-source software (even as dependencies) in homebrew-core. You can check out this Tap instead: https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-fuse.

Note that all FUSE builds on M1 machines currently fail due to compiler paths enforcement in Homebrew. I'm still trying to find a solution, but if you need to use the formulae urgently, you can use the Intel bottles via a Rosetta Homebrew installation. For all the necessary details, see https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-fuse#why-cant-i-build-xyz-on-an-m1-mac.

env :std if Hardware::CPU.arm?

might work there.

Assuming I did it correctly, it still doesn't work.

In any event, the root cause seems to be the cc shim that's unconditionally blocking all /usr/local paths when HOMEBREW_PREFIX != "/usr/local/". Since that's at the metaphorical "bare metal" level, the only solution I can think of involves conditionally disabling this check. I'll submit a PR for consideration later.

I used the tap that developer told me to use. It worked. I should have responded sooner.

Last update for everyone using my FUSE tap: I've uploaded some simple changes (credit: @carlocab) that should enable M1 users to build the formulae now. If there are still any issues, please file an issue there.
