error building package (samba and new package)

[snirnisim]

hello everyone,

recently i successfully compile build and deployed a new rootfs including kernel and u-boot.

after build finished successfully i tried adding some packages to the file system but encountered a couple of errors:

1) i tried:

./ltib -m prep -p samba --> succeeded

./ltib -m scbuild -p samba --> build failed

the scbuild failed with this error:

- i've added the * in the beginning and in the end so it will be more easy for you to continue read the question.

so i tried entering ./ltib --c and choose start smb daemons and choose the package in ltib after running "ccache -C" but got the same error. how can i add samba package?

2) in addition to Q.1 i would like to add winexe package to my rootfs. this is an external package. i tried following the Ltibfaq page with no success can you please help me with instruction of how to add it? is it possible to add samba4 instead of the provided samba package (samba- 3.0.32)?

thanks,

hey again,

i'm my project clock ticks really fast now and i hope someone would beable to answer my last questions asap...

1. where is the smb.conf file after installing samba under ltib? it's not in in etc/... (no samba dir) and same in usr/local whats wrong here? i tried reinstalling... after changing the spec file as suggested.

2. what i need to update on my uSD if I'm installing new package? i need to update all the uSD (bootloader, kernel, fs) or just dd one of them? (what is the write syntax for that operation? dd...)

3. how do i add a totally new package like winexe to cross compile with ltib for my rootfs?

4. what i need to add to a C++ project in order to  create it a package that i can add same as the process that is needed in question (3)?

thanks in advance,

snir

another question is where is the important smb.conf file?

thanks again,

I fixed the build error, by modifying the samba.spec file, adding the "./" before "samba-3.0.32-default.site":

echo "***** Using default site file for cross build settings *****"
CONFIG_SITE=./samba-3.0.32-default.site ./configure --prefix=%{_prefix} --host=$CFGHOST --build=%{_build} --target=$CFGHOST --with-sendfile-support --disable-cups
fi

( my samba.spec is attached )

WOW that really worked! thanks a lot!

i have a few more questions please:

1) what i need to update on my uSD if I'm installing new package? i need to update all the uSD (bootloader, kernel, fs) or just dd one of them? (what is the write syntax for that operation? dd...)

2) how do i add a totally new package like winexe to cross compile with ltib for my rootfs?

can anyone please answer my second question?

I answer myself to the first quwstion. but now o can't find smb.conf file in etc dir...

 I hope this can be useful

if this error displayed:

 go to ltib/rpm/BUILD/samba-3.0.32/source/configure

searcg (ctrl+f) for "CC_NEGATIVE_ENUM_VALUES"

look about 4 rows down to the line says: "if test "$cross_compile" = yes; then"

and cahange the "yes" to "no" and then run ./ltib -m scbuild -p samba again.

this will let the build run self test even for cross compiling. worked for me, i'm now having samba in my rootfs.
