Why compile it yourself ?

See here for packages: http://apt.van-belle.nl/

Try this unit file:

[Unit]
Description=Samba AD Daemon
Documentation=man:samba(8) man:samba(7) man:smb.conf(5)
Wants=network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/samba/samba.pid
LimitNOFILE=16384
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/samba -D
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

On Debian it normally goes here: /usr/lib/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service

You may have to alter the paths.

Also, it looks like you do not have the 'python3-dnspython' package 
installed.
