hi albert
what i normally do to see how the package was compiled
is get the source RPM and check the config options
used to build it.
i didnt notice that the MDK8 CDs dont have the source
RPM files anymore. too bad i can see how MDK built
samba in MDK8. but just to show you how, i downloaded
one from rh 7.1
the following is the compile command for
samba-2.0.10-2.src.rpm from rh:
./configure i686-mandrake-linux --prefix=/usr
--exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin
--sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc
--datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include
--libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib
--localstatedir=/var/lib --sharedstatedir=/usr/com
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info
--libdir=/etc/samba --with-lockdir=/var/lock/samba
--with-privatedir=/etc/samba
--with-swatdir=/usr/share/swat --with-smbmount
--with-automount --with-pam --with-mmap --with-quotas
--without-smbwrapper
do get that info, do:
rpm --rebuild samba-2.0.10-2.src.rpm
then watch out for the configure options while
rebuilding then break it ... =)
hope that works for you as well.
