Hello Samba users,
as i still could not get samba to work on my hp 9000/720 workstation
with debian linux, i asked for help on the parisc linux mailinglist.
Here is an answer which blames glibc for the problem.
Could someone please explain to me (from viewing this info)
how to set compiler options/defines to get samba to work on this
architecture ? Or what to do else ...
Thanks.

This looks like a glibc problem to me - I think it is calling fcntl
where it should be calling fcntl64, and using FSETLKW rather than
F_SETLKW64.
samba builds with
-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE
Using a test program, without those defines, i386 strace shows:
fcntl64(3, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=1}) = 0
with those defines:
fcntl64(3, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=1},
0xbffffa9c) = 0
Now on hppa, without those defines
fcntl(3, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=1}) = 0
and with them:
fcntl(3, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=31, len=0}) = 0
note that 'start' and 'len' are wrong in the last case; I think
that's
because glibc used a 64 bit struct flock, but didn't specify F_SETLKW64
(and didn't call fcntl64).
