Problem Building Samba 4.1.0 with CTDB 2.4 on AIX with IBM XL C 11

[John P Janosik]

I get the following error when running configure:

Cluster support not available: ctdb_private.h is required for cluster 
support
/usr/src/samba-4.1.0/source3/wscript:1668: error: Cluster support not 
found, but --with-cluster-support was specified

config.log says:

[1/2] Compiling test.c
"/usr/smb_cluster/include/ctdb_client.h", line 484.33: 1506-046 (S) Syntax 
error.

'default/test_1.o']
command returned 'Build failed:  -> task failed (err #1): \n\t{task: cc 
test.c -> test_1.o}'not found

The problem seems to be the C++ style comments in ctdb_client.h:

struct ctdb_control_tcp {
        struct sockaddr_in src; // samba uses this
        struct sockaddr_in dest;// samba uses this
};

Is there some setting I should be doing for configure so that the comments 
are allowed, or should I open a bug against the CTDB header file?

Thanks,
