fuse4x-kext doesn't install without root privileges

[yusuhail@…]

I am trying to install fuse4x-kext in a local MacPorts installation.

i.e., I had installed MacPorts from source with the following options

./configure --with-no-root-privileges --prefix=$HOME/opt/local/

Now, when I try to do

port install fuse4x-kext

I get an error that I can't do so without root privileges. Is this supposed to be this way, or is there something that can be changed in the port file to allow it for non-root users?

I suppose this is "work as intended". fuse4x-kext installation needs to set kext binaries owner to root [1]. You cannot do it with non-root account.

[1] This is MacOSX requirement, you cannot change it.

Yeah, this port really does need root access to install suid binaries.
