samba 3.0alpah13 - problems/questions

[David Edward Shapiro]

I think I saw somebody else complain about this earlier:

Compiling wrepld/server.c
In file included from wrepld/server.c:23:
wrepld/wins_repl.h:161:26: wrepld_proto.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `wrepld/server.o'

Do you have this header file?  Will there be anything else missing?

Firstly, sorry for giving you a slight run-around on the URL.  The
correct URL for Samba's CVS pserver homepage is: 
http://pserver.samba.org

(I gave you the one for the build farm, which I manage. )

Anyway, it looks like you found it.

A basic description of the various branches is just a but further down
that page...

Samba HEAD is currently also named Samba 3.0 alpha, until we get close
to relase when yet another branch will be formed.

You need to check out the samba cvs module into a working directrory,
then do a normal compile and install from there.

The exact cvs commands are as inidicated on that page.  Yes, cvs is a
bit of a barstad to get going with - follow those commands exactly and
you should be fine.
