This turned out to be an issue in Cygwin 3.3.3 but not 3.3.4 or the upcoming 3.4.0. WinFSP is ready to be used from Cygwin. > I plan to rename it FUSE for the upcoming ITP, to avoid > name conflict with libfuse* common on Linux. Nah, there will be two upcoming ITPs, cygfuse and sshfs. The first will provide the glue layers (libfuse and libfuse3) that ride on top of WinFSP, and also a 'fusermount' command. The second ITP will be a port of the latest sshfs reference implementation to Cygwin. sshfs is known to clean-compile against the glue layer already. ..mark
