Greetings, I would like to share my experience in installing Samba 2.2.8 for OpenVMS 7.3 and 7.3-2 on the Vaxstation 4000/60 and Alpha DPWS 500au.
On the Alpha I recompiled the full package following the instructions provided by the authors at: http://www.pi-net.dyndns.org/anonymous/jyc/ save set: SAMBA-2_2_8-SRC-20050817.BCK $ backup samba-2_2_8-src-20050817.bck/sav/sel=[samba-2_2_8-src...] - dka0:[samba.samba-2_2_8-src...] $ set def dka0:[samba.samba-2_2_8-src.source.vms] $ @build73 $ @link73 $ @install On the Vaxstation I could not recompile; errors are displayed on screen for a few routines due to low system resources and low memory (24 MB). I could not manage the resources successfully in order to improve the virtual memory properly so that I decided to install the binaries provided in the package. save set: SAMBA-2_2_8-OBJ_VAX-20050201.BCK $ backup samba-2_2_8-obj_vax-20050201.bck/sav/sel=[samba-2_2_8-src...] - dka0:[samba.samba-2_2_8-src...] $ set def dka0:[samba.samba-2_2_8-src.source.vms] $ @link $ @install *** IMPORTANT *** 1.
