[Samba] compile samba 4.10.2 centos 7.6

[Andreas Habel]

Hi,

I managed to compile 4.10.0 under CentOS 7.6. I did the following:

- update the yum package repository cache: sudo yum makecache
- install yum-utils: sudo yum install yum-utils
- add the IUS package repository: sudo yum install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
- update the yum package repository cache again: sudo yum makecache
- install Python 3.6 including PIP: sudo yum install -y python36u python36u-libs python36u-devel python36u-pip
- check version: python3.6 -V
Python 3.6.7
- Install dnspython (seems to be necessary): pip3.6 install dnspython

Follow the instructions given in the wiki: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build_Samba_from_Source

Prior to running the configure command, you have to define the PYHTON env. variable: export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.6

These steps did it for me.

Andreas

Hi Nico,

That's bad news.. but would there be an interest in opening bugs with the 
samba team if python2 support is not sufficient for building and running 
samba 4.10 on rhel7? I thought I read in the release notes that python2 
support would stay for the length of 4.10.x but not afterwards. So, IMHO 
if it doesn't work as expected, perhaps it's time for us to file BZ 
issues?
I've not even tried to build 4.9.x yet but I'd be willing to give 
4.10.x a try if that's of interest (I'll probably do so shortly as 
being on 4.8.x means I'll stop receiving updates/fixes soon).

Regards,

Vincent
