Bug 302453 – samba-client-3.5.0-rc3 fails to compile cifs.upcall

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastiaan 2010-01-27 13:39:49 UTC]

With the 'ads' use-flag enabled, the ebuild wants to build cifs.upcall, but is unable to find it. This is (as far as I can judge) because the makefiles are in source3/ while the make is initiated one level higher. Changing directory to source3/ a few lines earlier fixes the issue. Note that a few lines down the 'dosbin' command should be updated as well:

        cd "source3"
        if use ads ; then
                emake bin/cifs.upcall || die "emake cifs.upcall failed"
        fi
...
                dosbin source3/bin/cifs.upcall || die "cifs.upcall not around"


Reproducible: Always

Same in rc3.

A (merged) samba 3.5.0 is in the tree. Could you try this and see if it still fails?

[Comment 4 Sebastiaan 2010-03-09 14:27:26 UTC]

Works like a charm on amd64:

net-fs/samba-3.5.0  USE="acl ads client cups ldap netapi pam readline server smbclient -addns -aio -avahi -caps -cluster -debug -doc -examples -fam -ldb -quota -smbsharemodes -swat -syslog -winbind" 

Thanks!

Maybe interesting to mention at the end of the merge, is that in order to use cifs.upcall (in my case for DFS mounts), you need to add:
create  dns_resolver *          *               /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall %k

otherwise it will not work.
