samba - May 2016 - Compile Samba for Windows Use - SMBClient.exe mainly

does Pydio not accept UNC paths in place of a local path?  this has worked
for me in other php things, as long as IIS is running under an account with
network share permissions.

The user for the site, and conversely php, is running as a application pool in
IIS specifically for the site and as such only exists on that box.  The nice
thing about using the samba client, if I can get it to work, is you can pass
through the user credentials of the logged-in user. So security-wise it's a
lot easier to maintain as users would have access to the same things they
already do on the remote file server.  If they didn't have access before
then they still wont.

As Windows provides binary compatibility you might just be able to get a 32-bit
WindowsXP binary to run on the Windows server you're targetting.

I just wanted to give everyone a update.  I was able to compile the
smbclient.exe file successfully using Samba 3.6.25.  Compiling the entire suite
fails but all I was after was the client.  I referenced back to an old post here
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2007-September/055557.html that
had instructions on compiling on Windows.  Used it as a rough guide.  Long story
short:

Installed Windows XP SP3 32-bit on a virtual machine (VirtualBox)
Installed CygWin 32-bit with the Devel files
Extracted Samba 3.6.25
Went into the Source3 directory
Ran (per the post from 2007):

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba
make pch
make

The make failed trying to create the net.exe file:

utils/net.o:net.c:(.text+0x10e1): undefined reference to `libintl_setlocale'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:1816: recipe for target 'bin/net.exe' failed
make: *** [bin/net.exe] Error 1

But it had previously in its routine already built the SMBClient.exe file that I
needed.  I then tested it within Pydio and sure enough the issues I was having
with the older SMBClient (3.0.23 and 3.0.7) and gone....I can successfully write
a file to a new Server 2012 R2 file share with the newly compiled client that I
couldn't with the older ones.   I also verified the version was updated:

C:\temp>smbclient -V
Version 3.6.25

I'm sure no one will ever care about this knowledge or the file but it fixed
my issue and now Pydio is "complete" as a cloud file sharing solution
for me.

As Windows provides binary compatibility you might just be able to get a 32-bit
WindowsXP binary to run on the Windows server you're targetting.
