Hello Everyone,

 

I am trying to compile samba on AIX 6.1, and i am following this document:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/AIX_building_samba

AIX version: 6100-09-09-1717 and i tried on TL07 as well

I am using XLC compiler 13.1.3

 

When tying configure:

./configure --prefix=/applications/Samba/4.6.2.0  --check-c-compiler=xlc --without-ad-dc --without-ldap --without-ads

it completes successfully,

 but after that when i run make

...

Stop.

 

------------------------------------------------

as for using gcc compiler, after running

./configure --prefix=/applications/Samba/4.6.2.0  --check-c-compiler=gcc --without-ad-dc --without-ldap --without-ad

 

and then make

We have Samba 4.3.11 in AIX Toolbox. http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html

You can try that. 

Are you specifically need Samba 4.6.2 ?

Thanks AyappanP,

 

Unfortunately, we can not use the rpms, as we need to to have a custom build version, that is why i was trying to use the instructions they provided below, in order to have our own custom version

Okay, There are some patches needed to port Samba to AIX. You can take a look at the commits in https://github.com/aixoss/samba. The commits are made on top of 4.3.8 version. 

So you may have to rework them for the new version. And use XLC compiler as compiling samba with gcc has more issues.

Because of  CVE-2017-7494 (sambacry) we need a newer version of samba.

I tried to compile 4.6.4 with xlc and gcc, but got same errors like above:

We're needing a newer AIX Samba version (4.6.4, 4.5.10 or 4.4.14) for the same reason.  I can't get the downloaded code to compile either.
