[Samba] Samba 3.0.4 fails to compile on Solaris 9

[ww m-pubsyssamba]

Hi Khalid,

	I've been looking at some possible configurations with Samba on Solaris
and SunONE Directory server for some time so I'll tell you what I know.

Firstly are you aware that currently Samba does not work with Sun's libLDAP
libraries? You must install openLDAP libraries in order to get any LDAP/AD
functionality working on Solaris. This may be why your compile is failing.
Secondly I know that having both Sun and OpenLDAP libraries can cause some
conflicts, to the extent I am not currently using LDAP as a backend for
anything on my Solarirs Samba machines. I have raised the problem with Sun
UK and I know this issue is also raised with Sun Germany, who have apparently
identified a problem but are yet to confirm whether they will fix it.
Sorry I don't have anything more helpful to contribute but just thought I
should warn you.
Incidentally there is no issues I'm aware of between SunONE DS and Samba,
only the LDAP libraries found on Solaris machines...

		thanks Andy.


I have been trying to compile Samba 3.0.4 on a SunFire v880 running Solaris
9 but "make" generates a fatal error.  My goal is to get Samba compiled
with the "--with-ldapsam" option so that I can use SunOne Directory Server
5.2 as the back-end repository for user authentication.  I have gcc version
3.3.2 installed in /usr/local/bin/gcc which I have used to successfully
compile other applications.

This is one of my ./configure attempts:

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba-3.0.4 --with-ldapsam --with-ldap \
> --with-quotas

Using libraries:
    LIBS = -lsendfile -lsec -lgen -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -ldl
    LDAP_LIBS = -lldap -llber
    AUTH_LIBS =
checking configure summary... yes

include/proto.h:589: error: parse error before "LDAP_CONST"
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `dynconfig.o'

 I have tried various options with configure but they all generate the same
exact error.  My attempts includes running ./configure with no options at
all and with "--with-included-popt" option as was suggested in one of the
threads.  (I downloaded popt and installed it in /usr/local.) What am I
doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Doing ./configure -help indicates that the option --with-ldap has the
default value of "yes" and the option --with-ldapsam has the default value
of "no."  So I downloaded the precompiled version of Samba 3.0.2a from
www.sunfreeware.com to take advantage of the defaults but when I configure
it for LDAP and try to start it, the smbd and nmbd logs say that ldap
server and ldap ports are unknown parameters.  Any suggestions?
