[Samba] samba's source code won't compile on ubuntu 14.04 LTS

[Matthew Delfino]

This is a little rough, but I recently did this with Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS and Samba source code 4.3.1:

Installing Ubuntu: All steps default except:
- Choose to install "OpenSSH server"

When rebooted:
- sudo -s
- apt-get update
- apt-get upgrade
- apt-get install open-vm-tools #if you have this in a VMware VM
- shutdown -r now

On reboot, login, then...
- vi /etc/network/interfaces
Edit the network settings to that DNS points to any other DCs in your domain. Maybe you haven’t got any. If this is the FSMO, then start with any DNS you normally use for your servers, but change it before promoting it so that it points at itself.

Install prerequisites:
- sudo apt-get install acl attr autoconf bison build-essential debhelper dnsutils docbook-xml docbook-xsl flex gdb krb5-user libacl1-dev libaio-dev libattr1-dev libblkid-dev libbsd-dev libcap-dev libgnutls28-dev libjson-perl libldap2-dev libncurses5-dev libpam0g-dev libparse-yapp-perl libpopt-dev libreadline-dev perl perl-modules pkg-config python-all-dev python-dev python-dnspython python-crypto xsltproc zlib1g-dev
- Answer the Kerberos questions appropriately to your designed setup.

Edit /etc/hosts
 127.0.0.1	localhost
 192.168.123.160	(fully-qualified domain name)	(hostname)

GET REPOSITORY: Download latest zip from https://www.samba.org
- wget https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/stable/samba-4.3.1.tar.gz
- tar -zxf samba-4.3.1.tar.gz

BUILD:
- cd samba-4.3.1/
- sudo ./configure --enable-debug
- sudo make

INSTALL:
- sudo make install

EDIT Search PATHS:
- sudo -s
- vi /etc/sudoers
 Defaults        secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/samba/sbin:/usr/local/samba/bin"
- vi /etc/environment
 PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/local/samba/sbin:/usr/local/samba/bin"

INSTALL NTPD:
- apt-get install ntp
- service ntp stop
- ntpdate -B 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
- service ntp start

EDIT FSTAB:
- vi /etc/fstab
Edit the fstab file to include these three options on line 8: "user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,"

SETUP KERBEROS:
- mv /etc/krb5.conf /etc/krb5.conf.original
- vi /etc/krb5.conf

 [libdefaults]
         default_realm = (YOUR DOMAIN.LAN OR WHATEVER)
         dns_lookup_realm = false
         dns_lookup_kdc = true

PREPARE SAMBA:
- mv /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf.orig
- shutdown -r now

Log back in after reboot, then PROMOTE TO A DC:
- sudo samba-tool domain provision —realm=(domain.lan) —domain=(DOMAIN-NAME) --adminpass 'XXXXXXX' --server-role=dc --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL

You’ll also need some init shell scripts to put in /etc/init.d, but I couldn’t find any good examples on the web. I hope this helps!

Thanks,
Matthew
