samba - Oct 2003 - Attempt to compile samba 3.0.0 on OpenServer 5.0.6

Hello,

We are trying to compile Samba3.0.0 on OpenServer 5.0.6 with gcc2.95.2
and when running make we get the following message.

checking configure summary... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating include/stamp-h
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating script/findsmb
config.status: creating smbadduser
config.status: creating script/gen-8bit-gap.sh

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can overcome this issue.
(I have compiles Samba3.0.0 successfully on Unixware 7.1.3 from the same
download , if this is relevant ?)


Kind regards
