samba - Nov 2018 - Jansson not found when compiling Samba

I am trying to compile Samba 4.9.1, on Ubuntu 18.04.1 server. However, when I
try to configure, it says that jansson is not found. I have installed
libjansson-dev from the repo (version 2.11-1), but still get the error.


Config.log says:


Checking for jansson


/bin/sh: 1: --cflags: not found


not found ​

My mistake, I missed a line.
bin/config.log says:
Checking for jansson
 --cflags --libs jansson
/bin/sh: 1: --cflags: not found
not found



Thanks,
Spence

Hai, 

If someone wants to try the ubuntu samba 4.9.1 package, these are really really
fresh.
Im testing myself at the moment so any extra input helps to get these more
mature.

Setup (as root): 
wget -O - http://apt.van-belle.nl/louis-van-belle.gpg-key.asc | apt-key add -

echo "# AptVanBelle repo Bionic for samba 4.9 AMD64 only." | tee
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/van-belle.list
echo "deb http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian bionic-samba49 main contrib
non-free" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/van-belle.list

apt-get update
apt-get install samba winbind

And my first results sofar look good, installed them and running :

So i suggest give it a try and if you see/notice something mail the list and
i'll have a look.

If you want to (re)build these packages your self. 
Then these are the most important build depend for 4.9.1 (for now)

libcmocka-dev (>= 1.1.1) libldb-dev (>= 2:1.4.2) libpam-wrapper (>=
1.0.7~) libtalloc-dev (>= 2.1.14~)
libtdb-dev (>= 1.3.16~) libtevent-dev (>= 0.9.37~) python-ldb (>=
2:1.4.2) python-ldb-dev (>= 2:1.4.2)
python-talloc-dev (>= 2.1.14~) python-tdb (>= 1.3.16~)


You can check the minimal needed version with these commands:
grep ^VERSION lib/{talloc,tdb,tevent,ldb}/wscript
grep minversion buildtools/wafsamba/samba_third_party.py | awk -F"("
'{ print $2 }'

If you have missing build depends, you can reuse mine or get the latest from 
ubuntu or debian sid/experimental.


Greetz, 

Louis
