compiling samba

[Gerd Oberlechner]

hi all...
now i tried to compile samba 2.2.5 on my own under hpux 11.11 with gcc 3.1...
first i configured samba with "configure --prefix=/mypath/sw/samba --with-msdfs" and than i called "make".. the result was the following error...

Using LIBS = -lgen -lsec -lnsl

Why dont you save yourself a lot of hassle and install HP's version of Samba called CIFS;

B8723AA A.01.02 CIFS/9000 Client Lic. for 9000 Servers
B8725AA A.01.02 CIFS/9000 Server Lic. for 9000 Servers

You can download from www.software.hp.com

One reason may be that CIFS is always based on older releases than the up-to-date samba version

Hi,
Stefan,
I'm not sure that CIFS implement the dfs support by default, and it's a binary product, then you cannot change it later....
Gerd,
The trouble you have is certainly something about 64 bit (as what I saw in the errors).
gcc 3.1 support 64 bit, but does you system can support it ??
Try to compile with an older version gcc 2.95 for example...
I didn't try to compile samba with gcc 3.1, but with 2.95 it's ok...

hope that help
Benoit

I had the same problem during the installation of samba.

Please download the make-3.7.9 from

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/make-3.79.1/

Install it and use this make version

It installs the executable in /usr/bin

The present make available on your system is in
/usr/ccs/bin

You need edit file
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00/3.2/include/sys/types.h

Comment definition struct label_t and
write
typedef long sbsize_t;
