How about this:

#!/bin/bash

## where to build samba.
# NOTE: Samba will be installed to /usr/local/
# if build dir given and exists, then it will
# used as build base, else /usr/src will be used
if [ -n $1 ] && [ -d $1 ]; then
         SOURCELOCATION=$1
else
     SOURCELOCATION=/usr/src
fi

# Packages required to build Samba4
apt-get install -y build-essential libacl1-dev libattr1-dev libblkid-dev 
libreadline-dev python-dev libpam0g-dev python-dnspython gdb pkg-config 
libpopt-dev libldap2-dev dnsutils libbsd-dev attr krb5-user docbook-xsl 
libcups2-dev acl libkrb5-dev libssl-dev xsltproc krb5-config libpam-krb5 
libgnutls28-dev

# NOTE: to build on wheezy, replace 'libgnutls28-dev' with 'libgnutls-dev'

echo "Compiling samba."
echo "Please wait, this could take some time."

# get latest samba tarball
HERE=$(pwd)
cd ${SOURCELOCATION}
# NOTE: it downloads the latest tarball!
wget -cq https://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-latest.tar.gz
tar zxf samba-latest.tar.gz
cd samba*
./configure && make && make install
cd ${HERE}

# Set the path in /etc/profile.d/samba4.sh
PATHTEST=$(echo $PATH | grep [s]amba)
if [ -x "$PATHTEST" ]; then
     echo "PATH=/usr/local/samba/bin:/usr/local/samba/sbin:\$PATH" > 
/etc/profile.d/samba4.sh
     export PATH=/usr/local/samba/bin:/usr/local/samba/sbin:$PATH
fi

echo "Samba compiled."

exit 0


This will install the packages required to build Samba on debian jessie, 
then download the latest Samba tarball, unpack it and then compile it.

It has been tested (on Devuan jessie), it provisions as a DC and joins 
as a DC.
