samba - Nov 2013 - static link libsmbclient.a got a lot of error, and how to include "smbtree" feature in program

Hi All:


I have some questions when writing a lib with libsmbclient-dev ,my target
environment is  on any linux system.


1            I want to static link libsmbclient.a instead of using
libsmbclient.so, but I got a lot of error , am I able to use libsmbclient-dev
using static link?


2            I found that ?smbtree? command is more stable in finding all those
domains and servers than ?smb://? , am I right? why?


3             so I used pipe run way to call ?smbtree? command to get all the
servers , but that requires installing samba-common ,can anybody tell me which
part  of samba source code is for ?smbtree? feature?


Thank you very much!!

Thank you for your kindly help. yes , I want to know deeper the logic
inside the smbtree command and smbclient , it would greatly help if someone
in smbclient development team can help me on this.

Now I'm making a small piece software that trying to access smb shares on
various type of linux version through samba . And I want user to just only
install one tool for all , I want to use "smbtree" and also
libsmbclient-dev , can anybody tell me how to static link it?
