samba - Nov 1998 - make failure

Hi

just read the Makfile, you will find it... 

                                  Greetings, Florian Pflug

Howdy:

 I've fumbled my way and un-tarred samba whilst at /.  Samba ended up at
/samba-1.9.18p10/

 I
cd /usr/src and made a soft link
ln -s /samba-1.9.18p10 samba

 I changed directory to ...source and edited Makefile
uncommenting the #CC=gcc to CC=gcc

 I then ran 'make' and follows the first line of the ensuing error
report:
"You forgot to uncomment a host type and flags in the Makefile."

 Well, then I 'grep'd Makefile looking for 'host',
'type' and 'flag'.
I didn't find any matches that looked like anything to uncomment.

What is a 'host type' and what is a 'flags' ?

Regards, Chuck

Hello everybody,

I'm a new user and I decided to learn Samba with the help of the
documentation
that come with the program. 
My distribution is Linux Slackware 9.0, a simple workstation with nothing
special but all the progs possible except the samba packet, and the goal would
be installing samba-3.0.0 on it by using the source.
During the ./configure script, run with the --with-smbwrapper --with-smbmount
options, I didn't encountered any problems or so it seemed to me: reading
the config.log file I notice some lines like these:

....
configure: failed program was:
#line 4894 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <compat.h>
....

Instead, the last lines of ./configure are:

....

Thus, 'make' failed: does someone know why?
