Osxfuse: Failed installation of osxfuse on 10.15 Catalina

Created on 15 Oct 2019 · 3Comments · Source: osxfuse/osxfuse

Hi all,
here the commands used to install osxfuse.

In the main log I saw a 404 error while fetching osxfuse-3.8.3_0.darwin_19.x86_64.tbz2 package.
Hope this help..

After installing osxfuse manually from dmg downloaded from https://osxfuse.github.io/ you might want to execute this:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc
After that mac ports will be able to detect that you already have osxfuse and will not throw errors when you install other packages that depend on osxfuse.

Please raise the issue with the MacPorts team. MacPorts ships an outdated version of FUSE that is not compatible with macOS Catalina. The easiest way to resolve this issue might be downloading the installer from https://osxfuse.github.io and installing it manually.
