I am not seeing it in those tarballs, just some documentation that did
not get dropped yet:
./squid-7.1/CREDITS
./squid-7.1/doc/release-notes/release-7.html
./squid-7.1/RELEASENOTES.html
Running the release ./configure produces the correct output:
configure: checking auth/basic helpers: DB LDAP NCSA NIS PAM POP3
RADIUS SASL SMB SSPI fake getpwnam
FTR; Please notice that:
"SMB" is NTLM from the Windows NT / 2000 / XP
- LMCompatibilityLevel registry settings are set to 2 or 3
- deprecated 2025
- still supported by Squid
"SMB_LM" is LanManager, LM, LANMAN and NTLMv1 from DOS / Windows 3.1
/ Win95 / Win98 / Win98 SE
- deprecated 2006
- LMCompatibilityLevel registry settings are set to 1
- dropped by Squid
They are not the same type of credentials encoding. Hence the
LMCompatibilityLevel values, and different helpers.

Yes I have done the make config it is building fully now only after I
manually adapted the Makefile make config would not fix the issue with SMB

What file have you downloaded exactly? There's several offered there.
Are you sure you did "make config"? When I try to reproduce I get:
» pwd
/Users/kinkie/src/squid/v7
» make config
make: *** No rule to make target `config'. Stop.
» make rmconfig
2 ↵
make: *** No rule to make target `rmconfig'. Stop.

Could it be that the problem is with the freebsd port?
What version of freebsd are you using? I have recently tested a build
on 13.5, 14.2, and 15.0 at https://github.com/squid-platform-test/
squid/actions/runs/16234098625 <https://github.com/squid-platform-
test/squid/actions/runs/16234098625> and it worked
> I have installed Samba 4.20 (samba420-4.20.7-7) and confirmed that
the required libraries (libsmbclient, etc.) are present. I have also
tried disabling the SMB_LM helper via make config (and even using make
rmconfig to reset options), but the build process still attempts to
compile auth/basic/SMB_LM. Even after editing the Makefile to remove
SMB_LM from BASIC_AUTH, the port continues to fail at the configure stage.
SMB_LM (aka basic_smb_lm_auth) is no longer provided with squid 7.1,
from commit 1ce586101b
> It seems the Squid 7.x port is hardcoding SMB_LM support, ignoring

That’s likely the port’s Makefile hardcoding helpers.
> Can you confirm whether the SMB_LM helper is required in Squid 7.1,
or if there is a recommended way to disable it for builds that don’t
require NTLM/SMB authentication?
It isn’t required. It has been deprecated for a while, in fact

Is that the port’s makefile? If so it is indeed a port problem, and
the port’s makefile needs to be updated
