Getting the code

Download the source tarball from http://code.google.com/p/boxfs/downloads/list. Get the latest version, usually it's featured and linked in the project home page.

Installing the dependencies

Be sure that you have installed all the required software:

FUSE
libxml2
curl
libzip

or compile them from their sources.

Debian/Ubuntu users can install these with apt-get, eg.:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libfuse-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libzip-dev

Starting from r63 command line and configuration file parsing is done with libapp, so you need to download (or clone the git repository) and compile it.

Compiling the sources

Unpack the tarball

tar xzf boxfs-relno.tgz

and run make in the folder where you extracted the sources.

The Makefile uses pkg-config to locate the required headers and libraries, so you should not need to edit anything in the Makefile.

Installing (optional)

Running make install from root (or with sudo) will install the boxfs binary in /usr/local/bin.

# libapp install:
# get clone the git repo
git clone http://github.com/drotiro/libapp.git
# time to make and install the lib and compile the app
cd libapp
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
make apptest
# now you can compile boxfs
cd ..
make
