[Samba] Build 3.6.12 on Solaris 8

[Gaiseric Vandal]

I had to build OpenLDAP for full ldap functionality.     The solaris 
version of kerberos should be sufficient.   But you don't need LDAP so 
you can even disable ldap and krb5 in configure.

samba should have a configure script

"./configure --help"  will show you the options.    If you don't specify 
prefix it will build in /usr/local (/usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/lib 
etc)   which may not be what you want.   I usually like the specify 
something like

       --prefix=/usr/local/samba-3.6.12

then symlink /usr/local/samba-3.6.12 to /usr/local/samba.

This lets me build new versions with out breaking the running version.  
Just make sure you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH set correctly.


Configure will see what prereqs are installed.   It will also see which 
version of cc, gcc and make are available.  configure will create a make 
script.  make or dmake will use that file to compile and link stuff in 
the correct order.


I wouldn't have thought you needed a map file, assuming the windows user 
names match the unix user names.
