Unable to build

Hey there,

We grabbed your code today and tried building it but ran into the following issue:-

root@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/home/vagrant/fuse-nfs# make

Focussing on just fuse-nfs.c:40:21: error: storage size of ‘nfs_st’ isn’t known we saw this snippet during configure:-

Any clues?

Much appreciated

@paulcwarren did you figure this out?

[paulcwarren]

Oh yes. I cant remember what we figured out but we did so this is definitely closed.

[kocane]

@paulcwarren oh it was more meant like a "I'm in the same boat, as you were" but since it's been quite a while since you looked at this, I get why you can't remember the solution :-P

[paulcwarren]

Whoops sorry I thought it was @sahlberg cleaning up. We build this into CloudFoundry so I can point you at our build scripts for that so you can see how we do it there:

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/nfs-volume-release/blob/master/packages/fuse-nfs/packaging

All we really do is unpack the relevant tarballs of tooling and make it.

Hopefully, these will help.

For me, "apt-get install xsltproc" worked on a Debian-ish setup.
