+About
+-----
-This project aims to provide a full-featured [exFAT](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT) file system implementation for Unix-like systems. It consists of a [FUSE](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace) module (fuse-exfat) and a set of utilities (exfat-utils).
+This project aims to provide a full-featured [exFAT][1] file system implementation for Unix-like systems. It consists of a [FUSE][2] module (fuse-exfat) and a set of utilities (exfat-utils).
Supported operating systems:
* GNU/Linux
* Mac OS X 10.5 or later
* FreeBSD
-* OpenBSD
Most GNU/Linux distributions already have fuse-exfat and exfat-utils in their repositories, so you can just install and use them. The next chapter describes how to compile them from source.
-# Compiling
+Compiling
+---------
-To build this project under GNU/Linux you need to install the following packages:
+To build this project on GNU/Linux you need to install the following packages:
+
+* [git][4]
+* [autoconf][5]
+* [automake][6]
+* [pkg-config][7]
+* fuse-devel (or libfuse-dev)
+* [gcc][8]
+* [make][9]
+
+On Mac OS X:
-* git
* autoconf
* automake
* pkg-config
-* fuse-devel (or libfuse-dev)
-* gcc
-* make
+* [OSXFUSE][10]
+* [Xcode][11] (legacy versions include autotools but their versions are too old)
+
+On OpenBSD:
+
+* git
+* autoconf (set AUTOCONF_VERSION environment variable)
+* automake (set AUTOMAKE_VERSION environment variable)
Get the source code, change directory and compile:
-```
-git clone https://github.com/relan/exfat.git
-cd exfat
-autoreconf --install
-./configure --prefix=/usr
-make
-```
+ git clone https://github.com/relan/exfat.git
+ cd exfat
+ autoreconf --install
+ ./configure
+ make
+
+Then install driver and utilities (from root):
+
+ make install
+
+You can remove them using this command (from root):
-Then install driver and utilities:
+ make uninstall
-```
-sudo make install
-```
+Mounting
+--------
-# Mounting
+Modern GNU/Linux distributions (with [util-linux][12] 2.18 or later) will mount exFAT volumes automatically. Anyway, you can mount manually (from root):
-Modern GNU/Linux distributions will mount exFAT volumes automatically—util-linux-ng 2.18 (was renamed to util-linux in 2.19) is required for this. Anyway, you can mount manually (you will need root privileges):
+ mount.exfat-fuse /dev/spec /mnt/exfat
-```
-sudo mount.exfat-fuse /dev/sdXn /mnt/exfat
-```
+where /dev/spec is the [device file][13], /mnt/exfat is a mountpoint.
-where /dev/sdXn is the partition special file, /mnt/exfat is a mountpoint.
