Subject: Re: [Samba] Solaris 10 Configure failure

Compiling samba (or much  open source code) on solaris 10 is a major
pain.     (At least with samba 3.4.x which I had to compile because Sun
took so long to release anything beyond samba 3.0.x)

The biggest issue I ran into was that, regardless of compiler, the
linker ( /usr/ccs/bin/ld) seems really old.      One option may be to
compile a relatively recent version of GCC -  though I think the problem
was that you still end up being dependent on /usr/ccs/bin/ld.        You
could rename and symlink /usr/ccs/bin/ld to point to the gnu ld.

I think the proper way to build it is to use sun studio for the c / c++
compilers (not gnu gcc / g++)   with dmake (not make or gmake.)

My notes say

     CC='/usr/bin/cc -xc99'
     CXX=/usr/bin/CC


     Don't set "-xc99" in CFLAGS



Is this machine a member or PDC of classic domain?  Or is it a member of
an active directory domain?   If you followed some of the other posts
you will see that the "badlock" can break compatibility with classic
domains-  at least for domains where you have NOT upgraded or patched all the systems.

Solaris 10 does not use opendlap.

I configured with

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba-3.4.12  \ --with-privatedir=/etc/samba/private  \ --with-lockdir=/var/samba/locks  \ --with-configdir=/etc/samba \ --with-libtalloc=no \ --with-libtdb=yes  \ --with-ads=no \ --with-ldap=yes \ --with-krb5=/usr



I don't run Solaris 10 anymore.   I moved to Solaris 11, which provides
the latest Samba 3.x binaries (3.6.25)   along with gcc and openldap ,
but with out any badlock back ported patches.   But it was really easy
to compile Samba 4.x.
