Compiling and Installing Samba
At this point you should be ready to build
the Samba executables. Compiling is also easy: in the
source directory, type make
on the command line. The
make
utility will produce a stream of
explanatory and success messages, beginning with:
Using FLAGS = -O -Iinclude ...
This build includes compiles for both smbd and
nmbd and ends in a linking command for
bin/nmblookup. For example, here is a sample
make of Samba Version 2.2.6 on a Linux server:
# make 2>&1 | tee make.log Using FLAGS = -O -Iinclude -I./include -I./ubiqx -I./smbwrapper -D_LARGEFILE64 _SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DLOGFILEBASE="/usr/local/samba/va r" -DCONFIGFILE="/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf" -DLMHOSTSFILE="/usr/local/samba/ lib/lmhosts" -DSWATDIR="/usr/local/samba/swat" -DSBINDIR="/usr/local/samba/bin " -DLOCKDIR="/usr/local/samba/var/locks" -DCODEPAGEDIR="/usr/local/samba/lib/cod epages" -DDRIVERFILE="/usr/local/samba/lib/printers.def" -DBINDIR="/usr/local/sa mba/bin" -DHAVE_INCLUDES_H -DPASSWD_PROGRAM="/bin/passwd" -DSMB_PASSWD_FILE="/u sr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd" -DTDB_PASSWD_FILE="/usr/local/samba/private/sm bpasswd.tdb" Using FLAGS32 = -O -Iinclude -I./include -I./ubiqx -I./smbwrapper -D_LARGEFILE 64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DLOGFILEBASE="/usr/local/samba/ var" -DCONFIGFILE="/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf" -DLMHOSTSFILE="/usr/local/samb a/lib/lmhosts" -DSWATDIR="/usr/local/samba/swat" -DSBINDIR="/usr/local/samba/b in" -DLOCKDIR="/usr/local/samba/var/locks" ...
