[Samba] Problems building Samba 4.x on Solaris 9 and 10 - libintl (again)

[Gaiseric Vandal]

I can't speak to compiling Samba 4.x on solaris I found compiling Samba 
3.x was a real chore .  The make version is really old.  The bundled gcc 
(from the companion CD) is really old.   The sunfreeware ver of gcc was 
built with the Sun provided make, not the sunfreeware make.    The 
x86_64 version of sunfreeware gcc may compile 32-bit by default.

One option may be to recompile GCC first

I ended up downloading Sun Composer Studio compilers, and using dmake , 
not make.    It became a non-issue on Solaris 10 since solaris 10 
started providing updated versions of samba.  (for a long time they 
bundled 3.0.x even when 3.2.x or 3.4.x ws about.)       Those versions 
should work as members of an AD demand.


Solaris 10 is bundled with MIT kerberos not heimdal.  I don't think it 
matters for AD clients.
