Please be mindful if you intend to test that the current released binary
of WinFsp does not support Windows 7. This is because the last release
erroneously uses a Windows 8 only API (GetOverlappedResultEx).

:-D

Sorry! I am realizing now this could be taken in a darker way than I
intended. I just meant I am going on vacation and that I have to attend to
some family matters. It is likely I will not be able to participate in
discussions for a few weeks.

You will need libglib2.0-devel. This includes gthread-2.0 as well.

The reason it cannot find the FUSE package is because the cygfuse package
has not been “installed”. Here is how I build and install it.

    # how to build
    $ cd cygfuse
    $ git clean -dfx
    $ make cygport

    # list tarball contents
    $ tar taf fuse-2.8-4.x86_64/dist/fuse/fuse-2.8-4.tar.xz

    # how to install
    $ tar -C/ -xaf fuse-2.8-4.x86_64/dist/fuse/fuse-2.8-4.tar.xz

    # how to uninstall
    $ tar taf fuse-2.8-4.x86_64/dist/fuse/fuse-2.8-4.tar.xz | sed
's@.*@/&@' | xargs rm

You can verify that the cygfuse package has been installed properly:

    $ ls -l /usr/bin/cygfuse*
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 billziss None 14336 Jul 27 10:32 /usr/bin/cygfuse-2.8.dll

    $ ls -l /usr/include/fuse/
    total 28
    -rw-r--r-- 1 billziss None 7052 Jul 27 10:32 fuse.h
    -rw-r--r-- 1 billziss None 3912 Jul 27 10:32 fuse_common.h
    -rw-r--r-- 1 billziss None 3557 Jul 27 10:32 fuse_opt.h
    -rw-r--r-- 1 billziss None 8455 Jul 27 10:32 winfsp_fuse.h


    $ ls -l /usr/lib/libfuse*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 billziss None 19626 Jul 27 10:32
/usr/lib/libfuse-2.8.dll.a
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 billziss None    17 Jul 27 10:32 /usr/lib/libfuse.dll.a
-> libfuse-2.8.dll.a

    $ ls -ls /usr/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc
    1 -rw-r--r-- 1 billziss None 190 Jul 27 10:32
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc



After this SSHFS configure should be able to find the fuse.pc pkg-config
file and complete the SSHFS configuration.
