[Samba] how to enable Active Directory support building samba on AIX?

[Peter Waeckerle]

Hi

unfortunatly I connot confirm that this patch works. Inserting the two
lines with "headers='ldap.h...' does not make any difference.

I'm using AIX 7.1 ML02, xlc 12.1.

First I build openldap 2.4.39 into /usr/local/samba/samba-4.1.5. This seems
to work correctly, there is no error with configure and make:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba/samba-4.1.5 \
          --sysconfdir=/usr/local/samba/conf
--localstatedir=/var/samba/openldap \
          --mandir=/usr/local/samba/samba-4.1.5/man --with-threads=no \
          --enable-null --enable-dnssrv --enable-bdb=no \
          --enable-static --enable-backends=no

Then I configure samba with:

export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/samba/samba-4.1.5/lib
export CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/samba/samba-4.1.5/include

waf configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba/samba-4.1.5 \
          --sysconfdir=/usr/local/samba/conf \
          --localstatedir=/var/samba/smb \
          --mandir=/usr/local/samba/samba-4.1.5/man \
          --with-privatedir=/usr/local/samba/conf \
          --with-configdir=/usr/local/samba/conf \
          --with-piddir=/var/samba/smb/pids \
          --with-logfilebase=/var/samba/smb/logs \
          --with-ldap \
          --with-ads

configure DOES detect the library, it DOES detect the header files and even
the variables which it checks are OK. It just DOES NOT detect the init
(ialize) functions, although all is present in ldap.h:

Checking for header ldap.h   : yes
Checking for header lber.h   : yes
Checking for header ldap_pvt.h  : no
Checking for ber_tag_t     : ok
Checking for library lber  : yes
Checking for ber_scanf    : ok
Checking for ber_sockbuf_add_io     : ok
Checking for variable LDAP_OPT_SOCKBUF    : ok
Checking for variable LBER_OPT_LOG_PRINT_FN     : ok
Checking for library ldap   : yes
Checking for ldap_init        : not found
Checking for ldap_init_fd : not found
Checking for ldap_initialize  : not found
Checking for ldap_set_rebind_proc : not found
Checking for ldap_add_result_entry  : ok
Checking whether ldap_set_rebind_proc takes 3 arguments   : ok
Active Directory support not available: LDAP support ist not available.
/usr/samba-4.1.5/source3/wscript:753: error: Active Directory support not
found. Use --without-ads for building without Active Directory support.

I suspect the init function somehow is not working correctly, but I don't
know how to check.

Indeed!  I wasn't aware you had moved out of the AIX world.

Thanks.
