sudo apt-get install subversion scons libfuse-dev gcc
cd ~
svn co http://exfat.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ exfat-read-only
cd exfat-read-only
scons
sudo scons install
cd ..
rm -rf exfat-read-only
sudo mkdir [mountpoint]

Replace [device_path] with the device path to your exfat partition, for example: /dev/sdb1. Replace [mountpoint] with the path to your mount point, for example: /media/disk

  2. Just letting you know that this doesn’t work in Kubuntu 11.10

  3. Thanks! Worked great on my ubuntu 11.10 linux kernel 3.0.0-14-generic. I did have to reboot after the sudo scons install step, and after that it auto-mounted.

  4. Hey, thanks dude.
    I used this guide for ubuntu, lmde and vanilla mint. Never failed! (This is really the only tutorial ever that actually made this work!)

    So today I needed it for opensuse. Since there are no decent suse or even RPM-related tutorials I could find for this problem, I went back to find this site.

    Once I found all the rpm-version files for this tutorial to work I ‘susefied’ it by using ‘su’ and then the command in place of ‘sudo’.

    Works like a charm. 🙂

    So I just wanted to tell you: Thanks, you’re quite a community blessing! 😀
