Hello. I use samba since samba-2.2.0 version. I also use different versions of cups. I found that samba is trying to find cups libs and to link with them when I build the samba from sources. Sambas befor and 2.2.3a did not find the cups libs correclty and all was fine :-). Samba-2.2.4 excelent finds the cups and she talks that she links with him :-). After that SWAT dos not work correctly, SWAT dos not allow root login to manage via SWAT and dos not allow anything at all. When I remove cups includes and cups libs till I will have compiled and installed samba, SWAT works after such manipulatins. And yesterday I have tried to compile samba-3.0.alpha17 and I found this bug again.
I don't know why dos this happens, but I think that ./configure redefines some http functions in some header that SWAT uses. I am not a programmer and I can not fix this bug. I have no frind who uses samba+cups like me, but I asked my friends who uses samba, they could not answer. I have quastion fo You: Why samba needs to link with cups ??? I thought that samba prints using only commands like lpr, lpq, lprm and other. Could You tell my why samba links with cups libs ? P.S. /Sorry for my bad English, my native language is ... not C++, but russian :-). It is the first my bug report in my life, Sorry if something wrong. I will wait for your answer, I hope to recive it soon. Bye./ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
