[Samba] Trying to build Samba from source on RHEL 8

Hi,

I'm trying to build Samba from source on a RHEL version 8 server.  I
installed all the necessary packages and untarred the source for Samba version
4.6.10.
In the past I have been able to successfully build and install Samba version
4.13.17 on a RHEL version 7 server with Python2.
Here I believe I am using Python3, but I cannot seem to get past the configure
command:

[root at v2ecsqapp09 samba-4.16.10]# ./configure

I need to get this working to support a ClearCase environment and I would
appreciate any advice.

Does it support python2?  I dunno. But here on debian bookworm, it does not even
start with puthon2, failing at earlier stage.

If you found the Samba tarball inside the SRPM and tried to built that, 
you are building the standard Samba sources. Red Hat doesn't modify the 
original sources when creating an RPM, the RPM contain patches de 
distribution adds on top of the original sources in order to fix build 
problems when building it, or to backport patches, etc.

If you install the SRPM, the entire sources, patche, extra files and the 
SPEC file (that contains the instructions of how the RPM was build), the 
location of all that wiil be inside directories inside the result of

   rpm --eval %{_topdir}

If you want the exact same version and patches thet Red Hat distributes, 
you will need to red the SPEC file, and maybe patch it to you liking and 
rebuild the RPM is my recommendation.

What you are doing probably is no different that getting the sources 
from Samba servers and trying to build that.

[Samba] Trying to build Samba from source on RHEL 8

Hi,

In case you might be interested in the src.rpms with the AD part (might 
save you some time), there are a few (maintained) sources around:

http://samba.tranquil.it/centos8/samba-4.16.10-srcrpm
http://vince.cojot.name/dist/samba/samba-4.16.10/RHEL8/SRPMS/

Due to the dependencies, if you want to keep your RHEL systems clean, it's 
actually some work if you want to avoid replacing system libs.

My 2c,

Vincent

I suspect, perhaps for reasons to support your other tools on the
system, the environment variable PYTHON is set, pointing to a python2
binary. ?Try 'PYTHON= ./configure' and see if you get further, where it
will instead use the default python3 from the waf 'shebang'
(#!/usr/bin/env python3)

You will need to use 'PYTHON= make -j' as well

I haven't got access to RHEL 8, but using Rocky Linux 8, I can build Samba.

First, have you downloaded and run the Centos 8 bootstrap script you can 
find here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Package_Dependencies_Required_to_Build_Samba

Have you actually installed python3 ?
yum install @python36

and then set RHEL to use it with:

alternatives --config python

After that, downloading and unpacking Samba should allow you to build it.
