samba - Jul 2011 - Could not build Samba with ADS support on Solaris 10

I tried to build Samba with ADS support, I got error, messages are:

.

checking for ldap_initialize... no

checking whether LDAP support is used... yes

checking for Active Directory and krb5 support... yes

checking for ldap_initialize... (cached) no

configure: error: Active Directory support requires ldap_initialize

 

I installed Openldap(downloaded from sunfreeware), tried the following
commands, all resulted the same.

$ ./configure --with-ads

$ ./configure --with-ads CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"

$ export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"; ./configure --with-ads

 

Samba Version: 3.4.13 or 3.5.9, Solaris 10 Sparc or x86_64.

C compiler: /usr/sfw/bin/gcc

 

I also tried on Redhat Linux 5.5, succeeded, without error.

 

Anyone have any idea?

Samba on Solaris can be a real challenge.  Your build is probably 
picking up the Sun native(non-openldap)  ldap libraries which is why you 
have ldap support but not AD support.  AD support always requires 
kerberos but the Solaris kerberos libraries


Did you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

You may also need to set LDLFAGS

LDFLAGS="  -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/samba-3.5.2/lib -R/usr/local/samba-3.5.2/lib
$LDFLAGS"


If the compiler uses  /usr/ccs/bin/ld , you will usually have have 
compiler failures.  If  /usr/sfw/bin/gcc uses a gnu ld you may have 
better luck.




Probably the most reliable may to compile for Solaris is to use Sun 
Studio compilers and dmake.


Sun-bundled Samba 3.0.x was compiled with sun ldap, but with some extra 
netscape (?) libraries.     If you have an Oracle support contract you 
can download a Sun-provided Samba 3.5.x -  and forget compiling  it at 
all.   I do not know if they used openldap or native ldap libraries.    
I don't know if the samba patches are included in the latest patch 
cluster.  (I suspect so.)


It would be nice to have a wiki page on samba.org for building Samba 
under Solaris.
