Fix :osxfuse requirement for Linuxbrew

[sahilseth]

I am trying to install sshfs on a linux box, I do not have sudo privileges for. I understand sshfs is available via apt-get and yum. But I do not have access to those.

Is there a way to install sshfs via brew, on linux?

brew install sshfs
Error: No available formula for sshfs

homebrew/fuse/sshfs

Using homebrew tap fails

Looks like a problem with m4 rather than sshfs. Could you try the following:

brew untap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/dupes git://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-dupes.git
brew install homebrew/dupes/m4

?

This issue should be resolved. Please comment if not.

Sorry for a late reply here, and thanks for the help!

Today, I again ran

brew install sshfs
==> Installing sshfs from homebrew/homebrew-fuse
==> Installing dependencies for homebrew/fuse/sshfs: homebrew/dupes/m4, autoconf, automake, libtool, gettext, osxfuse, libffi, glib

# ... downloaded and installed several binaries, then got stuck with the following:
./build.sh
-t
homebrew
-f
/rsrch2/iacs/iacs_dep/sseth/.linuxbrew/Cellar/osxfuse/2.8.0

./build.sh: line 2493: sw_vers: command not found
OSXFUSEBuildTool() failed: no supported version of Xcode found.

Not sure why is it trying to find Xcode, on linux.

So I tried updating brew:

brew update # got a git related error, so I did
git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
git checkout Library
brew update

# try installing again:
brew install sshfs

# had a issue with gcc, 
brew install gcc

@sjackman I saw your recommending using brew sh as a workaround:

brew sh --cc=gcc-5
Your shell has been configured to use Homebrew's build environment:
this should help you build stuff. Notably though, the system versions of
gem and pip will ignore our configuration and insist on using the
environment they were built under (mostly). Sadly, scons will also
ignore our configuration.
When done, type `exit'.

gcc
Segmentation fault

At this point, I feel the issue I am having has really forked from the one I had earlier. Happy to follow your tips here, or file a new issue.

Thanks!

I've submitted PR #64 to hopefully address this issue. It changes the :osxfuse requirement to depend on libfuse rather than osxfuse on Linuxbrew.

[sjackman]

Merged! Sorry for the delay. It fell off my radar. I'd be curious to hear back if this patch fixes your issue.
