samba - May 2015 - 4.2.1 ./configure --sbindir & --bindir settings is different from binary?

Hi,

 

I'm getting further in building Samba 4.2.1 . It's apparently not as
simple
as sudo ./configure && make && make install.

 

At the moment it looks like make is ignoring some directory settings during
configuration.

 

I've run ./configure as follows:

 

sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--with-piddir=/var/run/samba --with-pammodulesdir=/lib/security 

--without-systemd --enable-fhs                        

--sbindir=/usr/sbin --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

--with-modulesdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba

--with-lockdir=/var/run/samba --enable-gnutls

 

Note that --sbindir=/usr/bin

 

Which results in the following (the directory looks correct, as I specified
it):

 

Dynconfig[SBINDIR]: : '/usr/sbin'

 

However, when make is done building and I check the configuration using smbd
-b I get the following:

 

Paths:

    SBINDIR: /home/caesar/Downloads/samba-4.2.1/bin

 

How can I set the sbin (and the bin directory which also has the same
issue)?

 

Help, Thank you, Caesar.

Never ever use "sudo" for configure.
Engrave it into your skull, if that's how you best memorize the basic rules
of
safety.
Only one "sudo" you need is "sudo make install".

Is that before "make install" or after?
Does it stay after install, if it is from before?

This is exactly the issue.  During 'make install' we fix up the paths to
be the paths from configure.  We do it this way so that things all work
during 'make test' without a 'make install'.
