Gluster users - Aug 2013 - How to compile gluster 3.4 on Mac OS X 10.8.4?

Hi,

I run ./configure then make. But I see the following error. Does
anybody know how to compile gluster 3.4 on Mac OS X 10.8.4? Thanks.

Hi Peng,

GlusterFS doesn't yet work on OSX. :(

A long time ago (many versions), it used to.  But it doesn't
any more.

Out of curiosity, are you a C coder, potentially interested
in making it work? :)

Regards and best wishes,

I am a C/C++ coder, but I have mostly been in Java land the later years.
Interested in making it work, but not sure how big a task it is.

Some linux / UNIX 2008 functions is missing on OSX (and BSD?), like
at-functions. I can see two libraries (gnulib or libspl from MacZFS) that
technical could help with this, but are there licensing issue using these?

Also rpc_sizeof method (but seems easy enough)  is missing.  Will it work
between different implementations?

FUSE seems to be the biggest problem, with macfuse being unsupported for years
and osxfuse also behind in version.

Beside autoconf, automake, format strings and other trivial (famous last word)
stuff, are there other stuff I am overlooking?
