For a samba4 AD controller you need to run samba.
For a samba3 style server (standalone or domain member) you would need 
to run smbd and nmbd (+winbind if domain member). I'm not sure the smbd 
binary which gets installed with a top level (waf based) build is 
suitable for this kind of operation. But building smbd by running 
./configure ; make ; make install from the source3 directory produces a 
typical samba3 installation (except lot more advanced like support for 
smb3 dialect etc.)
