samba - Feb 2024 - Samba 4.20rc3 does not build on macOS

Hi, I am new here.

I just tried to build it Samba 4.20rc3 because I would like to use the
"wspsearch" on macOS. (I also built it first on Debian 12.5, which
worked fine.)

However, ./configure aborts:
> Checking for getrandom

I suspect that's a known issue (I guess "macOS is unsupported").

Does anyone on the list have a solution for making it build on macOS, though? I
only need the wspsearch tool, maybe just for that?

you have several issues

1.  build tools missing
2. function calls missing.

OSX is not linux

You can fix both by using the right tools & build systems.

Switch to using "brew/homebrew" to build the packages instead of
directly downloading source & trying to fix up yourself.

This will then use specific libraries and  patches to build for the platform

Even for just wspsearch, we need the core crypto libs as the main
client libraries are based on them.
You will just need to build GnuTLS and it's dependencies first.
That said, if you have GnuTLS, but not a recent enough version, do let
us know what you have and perhaps something can be done.
