Since Android is based on linux, it won't be too difficult to port libfuse to Android. + +The main problem of building and running libfuse on Android is that the bionic c library lacks support for pthread_cancel(), which is necessary for libfuse multi-thread code. This stackoverflow entry[2] has suggested a solution, which uses SIGUSR1 as an alternative. It seems to work. + +Libfuse can be build with Android NDK[3]. If success, you will get libfuse.a and an example program fusexmp. To run the example, the android kernel should be built with FUSE kernel support. + +References: +[1]. http://fuse.sourceforge.net +[2]. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4610086/pthread-cancel-alternatives-in-android-ndk +[3]. http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html |
