[Samba] SAMBA4 and Solaris 10 X86

[Gaiseric Vandal]

I  have not tried Samba  4 on Solaris.

However, I found compiling Samba 3.4.x on Solaris to be quite 
challenging.  I had  to use GCC from SunFreeware.  I also have to 
install additional packages from Sunfreeware including  libtool, 
libiconv, binutils, openldap and bash.  GCC from Sun freeware tools was 
too old.  And I couldn't get anyware with the Sun CC compiler.

Finally,  the Solaris version of ld (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) is too old but 
Sunfreeware GCC was compiled with it so


# mv /usr/ccs/bin/ld /usr/ccs/bin/ld.sun
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/ld /usr/ccs/bin/ld


(I am sure other people may say that relinking ld is a terrible thing to 
do but it was the only way I could make this work.)

Some commands (e.g. bash or swing) may exist in /usr/bin but the 
compiler will expect them in /usr/local/bin so you may need some symlinks.



I also had to set compiler flags to make sure the compiler used OpenLDAP 
from sunfreeware and not sun ldap.


PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
PATH=/usr/local/samba-3.4.8-x32/bin:/usr/local/samba-3.4.8-x32/sbin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/samba-3.4.8-x32/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/usr/include"
CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/samba-3.4.8-x32/include $CPPFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -R/usr/local/ssl/lib \
  -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/samba-3.4.8-x32/lib 
-R/usr/local/samba-3.4.8-x32/lib $LDFLAGS"
export CPPFLAGS
export LDFLAGS
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH



Unfortunately Sunfreeware GCC seems to be 32-bit (at least for the intel 
platform) and not 64-bit.
