Hi guys,

I am a bit at a loss.

How do I compile MacFuse from the current https://github.com/macfuse/macfuse ?

The README.md doesnt give me the info I need.

You do not compile it, it is closed source. But you can install it as per the guide or from the release.

Hi,

Parts of macFUSE are closed source. Please see https://github.com/macfuse/macfuse/wiki/Open-Source-Status for details.

The repository you referred to contains the open source components of macFUSE: libfuse, libfuse3 and macFUSE.framework

The libfuse and libfuse3 source code comes with build instructions.

macFUSE.framework is an Xcode project that you can open and build. It should be pretty self-explanatory.
