samba - Aug 2011 - Cross-compile and directory locations

All,

I have cross-compiled 3.5.10 succesfully. The smbd binary can be executed,
e.g. ./smbd -b works fine. The smbd binary also allows me to override
directory locations, e.g. --libdir=/opt/lib. Unfortunately, other binaries
(like smbpasswd) cannot find their libraries because they are looking in the
wrong directory (/home/martin/result/.../lib), which only exist on the host
on which I compiled the source.

When I use e.g. --with-privatedir=/opt/var/samba/private during ./configure,
the binary is ok, but 'make install' fails. 'make install' wants
to create
/opt/var/samba/private on the host, instead of using the prefix as well
(e.g. /home/martin/result/opt/var/samba/private).

Is there any already available solution to this?

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Oops! I apologize for posting in HTML..

maybe I found the answer:

./configure --prefix=/home/martin/result/
--exec-prefix=/home/martin/result/ --sbindir=/sbin
--with-rootsbindir=/opt/sbin

does the job? (sbindir defines the install directory, rootsbindir
defines the location where the binaries will search)

Trying this tomorrow..
