We are running SuSE SLES7 beta Linux Kernel 2.4.7. The Samba delivered was Samba 2.2.0a. I used YAST to install the source and created a source tree under /usr/src/samba-2.2.0a. I downloaded all the patches and successfully applied them up to 2.2.5.
My question is where do I go from here? I know I have to compile the source. What are the commands or sequence of commands necessary? I here a lot about the .spec file. What is it and what do I do with it? Are there any gotchas? I appreciate any assistance this newbie can receive. Thanks. Peter E. Abresch Jr.
