Did you build SAMBA first? idmap_ad.c just #includes "includes.h",
which I would expect to work without including any additional system
headers.

But you could try adding

#include <time.h>

to the top of idmap_ad.c.

That should work - the idea is that you use your existing Active Directory
with the Microsoft Services for UNIX v2 or RFC 2307 schema installed. Note
that, unlike the other idmap backends, idmap_ad does not (yet) create
dynamic identity mappings: you will need to have provisioned POSIX UID and
GID numbers in your directory a priori.

Let me know if you have any questions!
