Hello.
I use samba since samba-2.2.0 version. I also use different versions of cups.
I found that samba is trying to find cups libs and to link with them when I
build the samba from
sources. Sambas befor and 2.2.3a did not find the cups libs correclty and all
was fine :-).
Samba-2.2.4 excelent finds the cups and she talks that she links with him :-).
After that
SWAT dos not work correctly, SWAT dos not allow root login to manage via SWAT
and dos not allow
anything at all. When I remove cups includes and cups libs till I will have
compiled and installed
samba, SWAT works after such manipulatins. And yesterday I have tried to compile
samba-3.0.alpha17
and I found this bug again.
I don't know why dos this happens, but I think that ./configure redefines
some http functions in some
header that SWAT uses. I am not a programmer and I can not fix this bug. I have
no frind who uses
samba+cups like me, but I asked my friends who uses samba, they could not
answer.
I have quastion fo You: Why samba needs to link with cups ??? I thought that
samba prints using only
commands like lpr, lpq, lprm and other. Could You tell my why samba links with
cups libs ?
P.S. /Sorry for my bad English, my native language is ... not C++, but russian
:-).
It is the first my bug report in my life, Sorry if something wrong.
I will wait for your answer, I hope to recive it soon.
Bye./
