samba - Jan 2023 - Building samba 4.17.4 on CentOS7

Hi,

I used to build samba regularly but it's been a couple of years. I'm
trying
to fix an issue with samba stock 4.10.16 on Cent7 by building latest and
seeing if it behaves the same but it looks like waf is not doing what's
expected. Simple question: should this work or is cent7 now too old and
missing stuff?

Thanks,
Greg

It should build, more likely you are missing something, have you 
installed everything shown here:
