Which set of dependencies did you follow ?
On our wiki page:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Package_Dependencies_Required_to_Build_Samba
There are two sets, an older set (that may or may not be correct) or the
ones that you should follow, these are under the heading 'Verified
Package Dependencies'

No real idea about this, perhaps missing dependencies leading to
something not being built.

Not really, I haven't built Samba for sometime, but it was very simple,
install the correct dependencies, run (as a normal user) './configure',
followed by 'make', followed by (as root) 'make install'. This should
lead to all of Samba being installed in /usr/local/samba
If you want to build Samba packages, then perhaps Louis can help here
(when he gets time), he builds packages for the raspberrypi.
