[Samba] samba 3.0.21b on Solaris 10 U5 : Error - checking configure summary ... configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config

[Gaiseric Vandal]

Solaris 10 (with latest patches) should have samba 3.0.37 already included.

"smbd -b" indicates it was built with ADS support.  I don't know if it 
really works reliably or not, since I am not integrating with active 
directory.

Sunfreeware.com  samba did not include either zfs or nsswitch 
support.    Also, Sunfreeware samba uses openldap while Sun's samba uses 
the OS ldap functionality.

I found compiling Samba on Solaris to be quite a challenge.  I did get 
EVENTUALLY get 3.4.8 compiled but not 3.5.2.   I had to symlink 
/usr/ccs/bin/ld to gld.  I also used gcc not Sun cc.

It seems pretty obvious to me that Sun will not be doing any more work 
with Samba since they have an alternative CIFS ("Windows") server 
product now.
