[Samba] how to enable Active Directory support building samba on AIX?

[Peter Wäckerle]

Hi

thanks, Chan! This exactly describes the problem.

Now, how do I enable samba's configure to find my LDAP library which I 
built in the first step?
As you can see below I create openldap in /usr/local/samba/samba-4.1.4/lib.
I also tried with --enable-static in openldap's configure, but it makes 
no difference:
Samba's configure isn't able to detect openldap.

My last successful build was with samba version 4.0.3. There I could add 
to samba's configure:
--with-ldap=/usr/local/samba/samba-4.1.4. But this now gives:
waf: error: --with-ldap option does not take a value.

So: where/how do I tell samba to look for openldap in the correct directory?
