Static cross-compiles aren't a topic that generate much help. I've been
trying for over a month to build a static samba for Android w/o any joy.
Google was no help, and even this list had no help to offer. I decided that
I would try a native compile on my new pi and see if I made any progress.

The static 3.2.15 works fine on the pi, but fails under android since it
can't find user root or guest. But that's another issue, I don't
expect any
help debugging such elderly code :)

Thanks for the replies and the info about the child processes.

IIRC native compile of Samba 4.1.x and later takes about 6 hours to compile. 
The only itch is, that it has troubles to generate the man-pages. Deinstalling 
dokbook-xsl avoids this, as it can't hit the bug anymore...  

I did compile each of the 4.2.0rc versions (plus bind-9.9.6, which takes another
couple of hours). It runs over night, and don't gives me any headaches. 

Best regards

Can Samba 4.1.x be compiled fully static?
