[Samba] Samba compilation issue

I didn't know about the "smbd -i" option. That is useful.
In your smb.conf file you may want to specify that your locks directory is set to /usr/local/samba/var/locks. The "testparm -v" will show your current settings. There are a lot of settings that can be set in smb.conf. It seems that since you installed in an alternative path, the locks directory is not in the default path. Or you could add some sym links. I have run into similar issue when changing from samba from sunfreeware to samba from source to samba from oracle.
On my server
tbash-3.00# testparm -v | more
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
...
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd
private dir = /etc/samba/private
...
lock directory = /var/samba/locks
state directory = /var/samba/locks
cache directory = /var/samba/locks
pid directory = /var/samba/locks
usershare path = /var/samba/locks/usershares
...
PS. You should backup your locks and private directories when changing versions or reinstalling samba.

Subject: RE: Samba compilation issue
I don’t know if installing Samba in an alternate path could cause an issue with dependencies. But It doesn’t seem like it. If “smbd –V” works then I would think this is not an issue. So it The “testparm –v “ command should also let you verify that the password file, private directory, and locks directory are correct. You may also want to increase the log level to 10 to see if samba will tell you why it is quitting. Or maybe run the “/opt/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd –F –d 10” command. You may also want to try running “truss /opt/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd” to see if that shows you anything.
Does /opt/usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd or /opt/usr/local/samba/sbin/winbind run ?

Subject: RE: Samba compilation issue
When we install as a package we do it under /opt and compilation under /usr/local.
Log directory (/opt/usr/local/samba/log) is empty ☹. /var/samba/log contains logs for oracle samba.
These are standalone servers. hardware is Sunfire V490.
Created softlink to gnu ld file. Still same error.
Not sure why libtalloc is still considered when we run “./configure --enable-external-libtalloc=no --with-libtalloc=no”.
Am I missing something here?

When you installed samba did you specify an alternate path? I don't understand why it is in /opt/usr/local....
Since you can at least run it with -V, it indicates that the binary and the library paths are good. You may want to look at your samba log files (/var/samba/logs and /var/log/samba ) to see if there is some other issue - maybe with your config files, local cache or locks, or local db files.
gcc will be harddwired to use /usr/ccs/bin/ld.
You can try the following
#mv /usr/ccs/bin/ld /usr/ccs/bin/ld.bak
#ln -s /usr/local/bin/ld /usr/ccs/bin/ld
This is not generally a good idea BUT it might help identify if your linker is a problem.
Are these standalone servers or domain members or domain controllers?

Subject: Re: Samba compilation issue
your configure syntax looks correct
One major issue I ran into was the "ld" (linker) command. Gcc on Solaris (either from sun "freeware" tools cd or from www.sunfreeware.com<http://www.sunfreeware.com>) was built with /usr/ccs/bin/ld - which is an old version. A lot of software expects gnu ld or at least a newer version of ld. I could sometimes force stuff by sym linking /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /usr/local/bin/ld or /usr/sfw/bin/gld.
/opt/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -V didn't show any output?
Does "/usr/sbin/smbd -V" show output (that would be the sun/oracle version. Probably not relevant if it does work.)
When you installed samba from sunfreeware did it warn about any missing dependencies?

I compiled talloc 1.3.0. still make gives the same error. I have attached output of make errors.
Reinstalling 3.4.2 didn’t help☹.

Your configure options (./configure --help) include
--enable-external-libtalloc
Enable external talloc [default=auto]
--with-libtalloc
Build the libtalloc shared library (default=yes if shared libs supported)
You should be able to set to "=no"
Or try building talloc 1.3.x with Samba 3.4.x.
Do either of the following work?
/opt/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -V
/opt/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -b
/opt/usr/local/samba/testparm -v -s /opt/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
You may want to have /opt/usr/local/samba/lib/ at the beginning of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
You may want to reinstall the Sunfreeware version of samba 3.4.2 if you need to get samba up and running quickly on this machine.

This is a lot to keep track off.
So the 3.5.10 is from Sun/Oracle?
I see on sunfreeware.com<http://sunfreeware.com> that 3.4.2 is still their latest version. But I thought it would have installed in /usr/local/. If you moved renamed the directory, you may need to update your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You may want to try running smbd with "-F" (foreground) instead of "-D" and see if that provides more errors.
What does "which pkg-config" show on each machine? I see there is a sunfreeware.com<http://sunfreeware.com> version of pkg-config. The latest sun/oracle one is 0 .15 which the one one sunfreeware.com<http://sunfreeware.com> is 0.25.
FYI when I compile samba I will usually compile in /usr/local/samba-version. Once I have it compiled I can delete or rename the previous version and then symlink /usr/local/samba to the new version.
Can you do "make talloc" from with in the samba source code directory to build, in advance, the talloc that is bundled in? Or can you just disable talloc when you configure? Although I would be interested if you then get warnings that tdb is unavailable.

Subject: RE: Samba compilation issue
http://www.samba.org/ftp/talloc/ - has talloc 1.3.x not 1.0.x (my mistake.)
For the non working machine - which package are you using for 3.4.2? SMCsamba is the package from Sunfreeware.com<http://Sunfreeware.com>. I am unclear if you non-working has 3.4.2 or 3.5.3. SUNWsmb* packages are from Sun/Oracle.
I am also guessing that on the working machine you have gcc from sunfreeware (based on the /usr/local path.) Depending on how your LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set and which gcc you were using, the SMCsamba packages could have provided some required libraries when building software. My guess is that samba 3.5.x uses a newer libtalloc than 3.4.x and that was causing some of the problems. Although LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH should have let you specify the version you wanted. I wonder if the “wrong” gcc isn’t picking it up correctly- so using the same gcc as the working machine may matter.
Are you on a sparc or x86_64 system? I believe that sunfreeware gcc on sparc compiles 64-bit by default but on x86_64 will compile 32-bit by default (even on a 64-bit machine.)
I still think the simplest thing is to just use the latest Sun/Oracle samba and skip compiling. You should be able to download the Samba patches from Oracle without having to install the full patch cluster.
PS. I noticed that samba 3.4.x and higher enforce the Solaris NGROUPS_MAX parameter. You probably want to have set “ngroups_max=32” in /etc/system- otherwise default is 16. If you have the latest kernel patches (147440-10 or 147441-10 as of 2-3 months ago) you can set this even higher.

Let me answer your questions.
Can you cat talloc.pc- make sure the config file shows the correct path.

I wonder what the significant difference is between your two solaris 10 machines. Which gcc are you using. Do either of them have the sunfreeware versions of samba? Or the sun bundled versions of samba. Maybe one machine already has libtalloc installed. What does "pkginfo | grep -i samba" show? I think samba 3.0x. binaries from Sun/Oracle may have been in /usr/sfw/bin not /usr/bin.

What is the current version of samba you are running. Did you compile that or is if from a package? Is the current version in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH when compiling the new one?

I see on http://www.samba.org/ftp/talloc/ that there is both talloc 1.3.x and talloc 2.0.x. I am looking through some of my old builds and my old build notes. With samba I seem to have compiled talloc 2.0.x separately (I have the pkgconfig files.) I think samba 3.4.x I have just compiled with out talloc.
Can you cat talloc.pc- make sure the config file shows the correct path.
