Mates,
In following chapter 35 "How to Compile Samba" I have looked at
./configure --help and I have a few questions. Originally I installed 2.0.9
via RPM, and of course there are no longer RPMs for mdk 7.2.
On 7.2, smbd and nmbd are installed in /usr/sbin. The docs are in
/usr/share/doc/samba-2.0.9. I don't know where the rest of the pieces of the
puzzle were scattered by mdk by default. mdk 7.2 doesn't put anything in
/usr/local by default.
Will simply doing a ./configure get things in the right places? Or, do I
need to hunt and find all the pieces and explicitly specify each
configuration option?? If so,
What do I do with:
--prefix=PREFIX
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX
It looks like --exec-prefix=/usr/sbin is what I need, but what
about --prefix=? Does it get set to --prefix=/usr
The confusion comes in looking at Fine tuning of the installation
directories:
--bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
--datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data
[PREFIX/share]
--sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
--sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data
[PREFIX/com]
--localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
--libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
--includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include]
--oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
--infodir=DIR info documentation [PREFIX/info]
--mandir=DIR man documentation [PREFIX/man]
>From this it looks like I should just set --prefix=/usr, forget about
setting --exec-prefix and let it default to --prefix=/usr and the rest will
take care of itself.
Which is right?
