samba - Jan 1999 - configure command for SAMBA 2.0.0 fails under HP-UX 10.20

Good afternoon,

I've downloaded the newly released Samba package 2.0.0, and when
trying to run "compile" (located in directory source of the package),
after a moment, script fail with the following errors:
>ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe
>configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config.

The following lines are extracted from last lines of config.log.
>configure: failed program was:
>#line 9472 "configure"
>#include "confdefs.h"
>#include "./tests/summarry.c"

And the line 9472 (and around) in the file "configure":

>#line 9472 "configure"
>#include "confdefs.h"
>#include "${srcdir-.}/tests/summary.c"
>EOF
>if { (eval echo configure:9476: \"$ac_link\") 1>&5; (eval
$ac_link)
2>&5; } && test -s conftest && (./conftest; exit)
2>/dev/null

1>&2;
exit 1; }

The machine is a good old H50, running HP-UX 10.20,
with patch bundle of October 98 and latest Y2K package.
I'm still looking for the problem, but any helping hands
would truely appreciated :) Please, could you also send
answer to the indicated email.

                    Thank you, best regards.

Is this a 64bit machine?
Then you might set 'CPPFLAGS=-D__LP64__'.
Additionally set 'CFLAGS=-O -D__LP64__'.
Although I am running 11.00 (where this thing fixed it for me)
this might help you, too.

The problem is /usr/include/sys/stdsyms.h.
There an error occurs. This can be reproduced by copying the C code
from the configure script into an external file and separately compiling
it.

The symptoms described exactly match the experince I had compiling the
software on HP-UX 10.20 with gcc.

Asuming the cause is the same then the error occurs much earlier on in
the 
configure processes and is associated with large file support.  The
flags specified in the configure script for HP-UX cause an error to be
reported in teh sydsyms.h file with the know on effect that all the test
programs that configure tries to compile to test of the OS has various
features fail and configure is left thinking there isn't a file locking
or IPC mechanism available to implement locks in samba.

The solution I adopted was to insert an extra define in the CFLAGS line
for the HP-UX large files entry and this seems to solve the problem.  To
do this edit the 'configure' script and look for the line:

	# Defines needed for HPUX large file support..

then change:

	CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

to:

	CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -D__STDC_EXT__ -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
