Samba has some problems related to cross-compilation. The following variables should to be set before running configure: - samba_cv_CC_NEGATIVE_ENUM_VALUES=yes, to prevent a failing configure run-test - samba_cv_USE_SETREUID=yes, to make Samba use setreuid() and setregid() to switch uid/gid when clients connect. The configure script will look for various setuid functions and test them using run-tests, but since all the run-tests will fail, it will find no useful functions. Configure wont't fail, but the resulting build will be broken. - libreplace_cv_HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP=yes (this isn't strictly necessary, I just set it because that's how it gets detected on native) Also, --with-libiconv="${EROOT}/usr" needs to be passed to configure, or -L/usr/lib will for some reason be added to link flags and cause hundreds of "skipping incompatible" messages Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 331608 [details, diff] samba-3.5.19.ebuild-cross-compile.patch Ebuild patch. Note I haven't patched samba >=3.6 because of bug 411649.
we asked him to add us to the cc, thanks
If this is still needed, let's get a fresh bug report for samba4
