Description Ambroz Bizjak 2012-12-06 01:35:34 UTC
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

Ebuild patch. Note I haven't patched samba >=3.6 because of bug 411649.
