Samba Build Issue

R

raffid

Hi,

I'm trying to build an older version of Samba (4.13) from source for testing. Make is giving me the following error.

PYTHONHASHSEED=1 WAF_MAKE=1 ./buildtools/bin/waf build
env: python3: No such file or directory
*** Error code 127

Stop.

I tried adding the python3 directory to $PATH but that didn't help.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Raffi

Testing ... what? Running EOL software is never a good idea, and samba is one of the "security-critical" packages, so, just don't.

That said, vanilla samba will never work on FreeBSD. Issues to find the correct python binary are just the very tiny tip of the iceberg, it needs for example freebsd-specific implementations of its vfs for correct usage of extended attributes.

If you really really want to build an ancient version, find and obtain the latest version of the port: net/samba413.
