This is a REALLY simple bug to fix, but I'm not sure of the best way to go
about it or I would have written a patch already. The basic problem is
that throughout the code, $(CC) is run with one of the arguments being
$(DYNEXP). This is fine. However, in two places (one at 965 of Makefile.in
where libsmbclient gets linked, and one at 1201 where pam_smbpass gets
linked), $(DYNEXP) is used as an argument to $(SHLD) which explodes on
HP-UX, because the value of $(DYNEXP) is -Wl,-E (and -Wl means "pass to
linker," which doesn't work if you are giving this as an argument
directly
to the linker).
Like I said, can't think of the best way to fix this. One way seems like
an awful lot of work (making $(DYNEXP) -E and placing -Wl before it
anytime it is needed) but seems the most correct. However I have no idea
what that would do to the rest of the operating systems. Another way would
be to have a different $(DYNEXP) just for the linker. Another would be to
remove it altogether as things seem to build either way.
I really don't know, but I do know it's a very irritating bug and very
easy to fix.
Thanks!
