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/make_ printerdef. For example, here is a sample make of Samba version 2.0.4 on a Linux server:
# make Using FLAGS = -O -Iinclude -I./include -I./ubiqx -I./smbwrapper -DSMBLOGFILE="/ usr/local/samba/var/log.smb" -DNMBLOGFILE="/usr/local/samba/var/log.nmb" - 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" -DSMBRUN="/usr/local/samba/bin/smbrun" - DCODEPAGEDIR="/usr/local/samba/lib/codepages" -DDRIVERFILE="/usr/local/samba/lib/ printers.def" -DBINDIR="/usr/local/samba/bin" -DHAVE_INCLUDES_H -DPASSWD_ PROGRAM="/bin/passwd" -DSMB_PASSWD_FILE="/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd" Using FLAGS32 = -O -Iinclude -I./include -I./ubiqx -I./smbwrapper - DSMBLOGFILE="/usr/local/samba/var/log.smb" -DNMBLOGFILE="/usr/local/samba/var/log. nmb" -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" -DSMBRUN="/usr/local/samba/bin/smbrun" ...
