The mainline squashfs-tools only runs on Linux. This repo ports it to other OSes.

Common issues on different platforms

GMAKE: Build with gmake instead of make, installing gmake if necessary
GCC: Build with CC=gcc, installing gcc if necessary
NOXATTR: Build with XATTR_SUPPORT=0, no Linux-compatible extended attribute support available.
NOCPU: Can't auto-detect the number of CPUs available.

Ports maintained up to squashfs-tools 4.3, in the `mac43` branch

Mac OS X: Everything works
FreeBSD: GMAKE, NOXATTR
NetBSD: GMAKE
OpenBSD: GMAKE, NOXATTR
DragonflyBSD: GMAKE, NOXATTR

Ports still on 4.2, in the `mac` branch

OpenIndiana: GCC, NOXATTR, install header-math package
Solaris: GMAKE, GCC, NOXATTR
QNX: GCC, NOXATTR, NOCPU
Hurd: NOXATTR, NOCPU
Haiku: NOXATTR, NOCPU
Windows/cygwin: Install make and gcc
Android: NOXATTR
- Cross-compile using appropriate flags
Minix: CC, NOXATTR, NOCPU
- No preemptive threads, build against pthreads by setting CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/pkg/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pkg/lib
