x86 binary missing about sshfs-win

[billziss-gh]

There currently is not any x86 binary of SSHFS-Win.

If you have a working 32-bit installation of Cygwin, it is not hard to create one. You must install the latest version of WinFsp and also install the included cygfuse (it can be found under \Program Files\WinFsp\opt). Then (assuming that you have the necessary dev tools installed under Cygwin) you should be able to run make and get a 32-bit version of SSHFS-Win.

Ok, thank you. You should write a warning in sshfs page, because I and other people spent some time figuring what was wrong.

Then (assuming that you have the necessary dev tools installed under Cygwin) you should be able to run make and get a 32-bit version of SSHFS-Win.

Do you know what is the minimum packages list that Cygwin need? (I guess make), then

git clone https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win.git
git checkout 2.7
cd sshfs-win
./configure
./make

I will try that. But the missing x86 binaries are really a barrier to a popular adoption by end users, it would be great to add it one day :)

Point taken. I will look into adding it in the future :)

I think they are the usual suspects: gcc, autoconf, etc. and also the packages required to compile SSHFS:

https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs/blob/a9a1cc004675f35df34c68f3e134c2194311943f/configure.ac#L47

FUSE is provided by WinFsp (look in \Program Files\WinFsp\opt), but Glib should be installed using the Cygwin installer.

You will also need Wix to build the SSHFS-Win installer, which I recognize is a PITA.

The steps should just be (no configure necessary):

cd sshfs-win
make

If you succeed in building this it would be very helpful if you provided the instructions here or as a PR in the README ("How to build").

I ran into the same issue on my 32-bit Windows 7 VM. It installed fine, and when trying to map a network drive it even asked for the password, but then it just does not work. I also took me some time to figure out what was going on. It would be very appreciated if you warn users during or after installation that it does not work on 32bit machines.

Commit d1b9487 will fix this.

Unfortunately some other changes require the final release of WinFsp v1.2, so I cannot release binaries yet.

[billziss-gh]

The latest SSHFS-Win release now inludes x64 and x86 binaries.

I confirm it works in 32bit, excellent release!

Great to hear!
