[gentoo-alpha] Samba build problem revisited

[gentoo-alpha] Samba build problem revisited

A few months back, I was having problems building Samba. I'm back to
trying again. It seems like it is more of a problem with system header
files than with Samba.

The short of it is that there is an ebuild patch,
samba-2.2.8-statfs.patch , that is not being applied on Alpha (though it
is on sparc and ppc).
Also doing it on alpha fixes the build problem.

1- How can this package even be marked "stable" for Alpha if it won't
even build successfully? Or is it just me (and if so, why would it be)?

2- How do we get the ebuild file fixed?

Hi Jeff.

I haven't test samba-2.2.8 but I marked 3.0.2a-r2 stable a few days ago
- it works for me but let me know if you still have problems building
samba.

I was trying to build 3.0.2a-r2 . It does not build "out of the box" on my
machine. I had to modify the ebuild file to apply the "samba-2.2.8.patch",
just like it does for Sparc and PPC (look at the build script to see what
I mean). Once I did that, it builds fine (though I haven't tried
configuring and running yet).

Why would it build for you but not me? Do your system header files have
some magic patch to them making the "samba-2.2.8.patch" file unnecessary?

I'm a bit perplexed.

Thanks,
Jeff D

Hi Jeff.

There's 20+ open bugs somehow mentioning samba atm. The most relevant
bugs seems to be building samba with the ldap USE flag or doing parallel
builds (-jX). Are you using the ldap USE flag? In that case please try
disabling that. I'll see if I can reproduce your problem and commit a
fix but right now I think that's the likely cause.

Could you please tell me what USE flags you're (trying to) build samba
with?

RE: [gentoo-alpha] Samba build problem revisited

[Donsbach, Jeff]

My USE flags are:

USE="X alpha berkdb crypt cups encode foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww mikmod motif ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl tcpd truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib"

Which I think are pretty standard or close to it. No ldap.

Also, if you look in the sources for Samba in include/includes.h, you will find a #define , something about "BROKEN_REDHAT7_HEADERS" or something like that (can't look right now). I think my problem is related to the workaround they put in there.
