[Samba] Cross-compile and directory locations

[Martin Herrman]

Oops! I apologize for posting in HTML..

maybe I found the answer:

./configure --prefix=/home/martin/result/
--exec-prefix=/home/martin/result/ --sbindir=/sbin
--with-rootsbindir=/opt/sbin

does the job? (sbindir defines the install directory, rootsbindir
defines the location where the binaries will search)

Trying this tomorrow..

Unfortunately, other binaries (like smbpasswd) cannot find their libraries because they are looking in the wrong directory (/home/martin/result/.../lib), which only exist on the host on which I compiled the source.
