[Samba] What version started building libsmbclient.so?

[Steven McClellan]

Hello,

I am trying to write a program that uses some smbclient features but am
having trouble linking to libsmbclient.  I only have libsmbclient.a
installed on my machine (Redhat 9 Linux).  I believe that the smbclient
version on my updated system is 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix.  All of the
other libraries that I normally link to are xxx.so and so either I need to
figure out how to link to an xxx.a library, or I need to find a version of
the smbclient that builds the libsmbclient.so.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
