How to actually install so partfs can be used?

[N7DR]

I don't see any instructions as to how to install partfs once the git repository is downloaded, so that it can then be used.

I could try guessing what to do -- presumably it has something to do with configure and make; maybe just run autogen.sh; but it's all guesswork without an INSTALL file; so including real instructions for people to follow seems like a good idea.

That's great feedback, thanks. I'll add an INSTALL file.

Yes, you can use the tip of master by running ./autogen.sh in the repo. Once that's done, you can do the standard autotools flow (./configure && make && make install as an example).

If you don't want to install autoconf and friends, you can download a release tarball from Github. 1.2 is the most recent one I released: https://github.com/nrclark/partfs/archive/refs/tags/release/1.2.0.tar.gz

When I run autogen.sh and ./configure, the last line of output reads: configure: error: Missing header fuse.h required for partfs. So that's obviously not good. I have the fuse3 package installed (this is a debian stable system). So I have now installed the package libfuse3-dev, rerun autogen.sh and then ./configure, but I still got the same error. The libfuse3-dev package did install the file: /usr/include/fuse3/fuse.h but it seems that the file is not being found when ./configure is run. Doc
