📄 Description

Relevant Issue (if applicable)

Doesn't build on Cygwin

Details

libfuse is not available on Windows.
When you try to compile libfuse on Windows the result is:

Error encountered: libfuse does not support Windows.
Take a look at http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/ instead

WinFSP provides an compatibility layer to FUSE using version number 2.8, this is why I added a specific target configuration for Cygwin to configure.ac. Also, to use the non-standard calls used in the s3fs code, the _GNU_SOURCE flag is required.

Last change is the addition of a .gitattributes file. Indeed, autogen.sh must be in Unix format to be executed and when using Windows the file is changed to Windows line endings. hence the addition.

Next step is to have a working example for it. I wasn't able to mount a S3 bucket.
I started a discussion here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/winfsp/xXe6M_MoW8w

I someone care to help :)
Thanks!
