S3Drive - Build rclone with v2 cipher

5:04 AM

Thought of giving more details to the Windows build steps. This assumes you have winget installed (it comes with Windows 11 and modern versions of Windows 10, if not, check this out: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/) For PowerShell:

# Install dependencies
winget install Golang.Go WinFsp.WinFsp
# After installing, restart PowerShell so that the environment variables are updated

# Download source code
git clone https://github.com/tomekit/rclone.git
cd rclone
git checkout v1.71.0-with-v2-cipher

# Build rclone
go run bin/resource_windows.go -version v1.71.0-with-v2-cipher -syso resource_windows_`go env GOARCH`.syso
$env:CPATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\inc\fuse"
go build -v --ldflags "-s -X github.com/rclone/rclone/fs.Version=v1.71.0-with-v2-cipher" -tags "cmount" -buildmode exe

On Command Prompt:

# Install dependencies
winget install Golang.Go WinFsp.WinFsp
# After installing, restart Command Prompt so that the environment variables are updated

# Download source code
git clone https://github.com/tomekit/rclone.git
cd rclone
git checkout v1.71.0-with-v2-cipher

# Build rclone
go run bin/resource_windows.go -version v1.71.0-with-v2-cipher -syso resource_windows_`go env GOARCH`.syso
SET CPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\inc\fuse
go build -v --ldflags "-s -X github.com/rclone/rclone/fs.Version=v1.71.0-with-v2-cipher" -tags "cmount" -buildmode exe

Oh cool, thanks! We've also recently added quick summary regarding building Rclone with V2 support: https://docs.s3drive.app/advanced/v2support/ We will update instructions adding the: winget install Golang.Go WinFsp.WinFsp step for Windows

V2 support - S3Drive

Personal storage compatible with S3, WebDav and 70+ other Rclone back-ends

The difference between the PowerShell and Command Prompt versions is setting the CPATH environment variable!
