So, on the new machine I can run ./configure -prefix=/opt/servers/samba then the make commands.  Then I can move the smb.conf file from the old machine to the ne machine and copy the following  files/directories from the old machine to the new machine:

/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/brlock.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/locking.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/printing.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/ntdrivers.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/ntprinters.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/ntforms.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/share_info.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/connections.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/messages.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/var/locks/unexpected.tdb
/opt/servers/samba/private/secrets.tdb
