The longest configure list ever?

[twobob]

So, I thought. Give yourself a break, go do something fun!

Configure Samba...

Err. Hokay. Now I'm no expert (well at anything really) but I would say this is a preeety big configure list.

This is the options...

Anyone seen a bigger one?

Insert amusing anecdotes below:

Thanks

[geekmaster]

I think my list for ffmpeg with all the options was bigger.

[twobob]

You might have me there

Good one!

I went with

--prefix=/mnt/us --exec-prefix=/mnt/us --with-gnu-ld --disable-rpath --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --host=i686-pc-linux --enable-static --disable-shared --cross-compile -p --enable-selftest --enable-coverage --enable-gnutls --with-perl-binary=/mnt/us/usr/bin/perl --with-perl-archdir=/mnt/us/usr --with-smbwrapper --with-automount --with-smbmount --download --oldincludedir=/mnt/us/usr/include --disable-rpath-install --disable-rpath-private-install --disable-symbol-versions --localstatedir=/var --with-cachedir=${PREFIX}/cache --with-lockdir=/var/lock --with-logfilebase=${PREFIX}/log/samba --with-sockets-dir=/var/run --with-modulesdir=${LIBDIR} --quick

or for the vanilla one

./configure --prefix=/mnt/us --exec-prefix=/mnt/us --disable-rpath --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --host=i686-pc-linux --disable-shared --enable-gnutls --with-perl-binary=/mnt/us/usr/bin/perl --with-perl-archdir=/mnt/us/usr --with-automount --oldincludedir=/mnt/us/usr/include --disable-rpath-install --disable-rpath-private-install --disable-symbol-versions --localstatedir=/var --with-cachedir=${PREFIX}/cache --with-lockdir=/var/lock --with-logfilebase=${PREFIX}/log/samba --with-sockets-dir=/var/run --with-modulesdir=${LIBDIR}

EDIT: Which both failed...

or in BR .mk format

Which I can handle

[geekmaster]

ffmpeg for ARM can feed video to my raw2gmv and also to gpmlay, while reading 1080p x.264 video from a file or from a website, all in realtime on a K4/K5. The K3 is too slow for that, so you need to use a temp file and do it in two passes. That is why I provided samples with .gmv.gz files (so they play smoothly on a K3). I did not publish my ffmpeg build here because it only outputs sound OR video (not both). I want a player that can do sound with video (such as mplayer), with my "all eink kindle" dithered video built in. Someday... Anyway, that build list for ffmpeg was HUGE...

You need samba and CIFS?

[twobob]

One app to rule them all, One app to find them, One app to bring them all, and in the darkness to fatally except them...

Now if I can just find that app...

; )

meh yeah.

The kernel mod CIFS provides the client.
Samba provides the server side.

Define "needs"
NFS-v3 is built into the kernel.

[twobob]

And it dies... with a suitably long error lol

NB Don't even try to parse this. I have another plan...

So much for bleeding edge...

Next up samba-current

on the plus side. I have the configure flags

[twobob]

meh houston we have a problem


checking that the C compiler understands negative enum values... configure: error: in `/usr/local/src/samba-3.6.7/source3':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details
simon@dev /usr/local/src/samba-3.6.7/source3 $

Might have to think about installing that gentoo install...

Or begging someone else to build one. my system won't play nice. :\

I hacked the configure to accept the 2.7 python but configure still go boom.
Sigh.

One for the community to step in and help with perhaps. I'm at a loss.

[twobob]

perhaps I can disable the tests.... a little personal pronoun wouldn't go amiss...


What? **I** cannot run test program while cross compiling

or **You** cannot run test program while cross compiling

stupid message.

EDIT: Answer no. Anyone have a more compliant older version of python and a relevant TC?

2006q3 or one of Nilujes magical brews would be fine. Many thanks.

[knc1]

Ah, there is a way to tell config "don't test" - I have seen it used in some of the Buildroot make-files.

At which point my mind goes: "Poof" about details. Sorry.

Hmm yeah... now you mention it so have I. well its; 4am.

http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/stabl...a-3.6.7.tar.gz

is the current

for this one I went with

./configure --prefix=/mnt/us --exec-prefix=/mnt/us --disable-rpath --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --host=i686-pc-linux --disable-shared --enable-gnutls --with-perl-binary=/mnt/us/usr/bin/perl --with-perl-archdir=/mnt/us/usr --with-automount --oldincludedir=/mnt/us/usr/include --disable-rpath-install --disable-rpath-private-install --disable-symbol-versions --localstatedir=/var --with-cachedir=${PREFIX}/cache --with-lockdir=/var/lock --with-logfilebase=${PREFIX}/log/samba --with-sockets-dir=/var/run --with-modulesdir=${LIBDIR}


git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba

is the Git

this one I tried

--prefix=/mnt/us --exec-prefix=/mnt/us --with-gnu-ld --disable-rpath --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --host=i686-pc-linux --enable-static --disable-shared --cross-compile -p --enable-selftest --enable-coverage --enable-gnutls --with-perl-binary=/mnt/us/usr/bin/perl --with-perl-archdir=/mnt/us/usr --with-smbwrapper --with-automount --with-smbmount --download --oldincludedir=/mnt/us/usr/include --disable-rpath-install --disable-rpath-private-install --disable-symbol-versions --localstatedir=/var --with-cachedir=${PREFIX}/cache --with-lockdir=/var/lock --with-logfilebase=${PREFIX}/log/samba --with-sockets-dir=/var/run --with-modulesdir=${LIBDIR} --quick

Perhaps that may save someone some time.


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

If some kind soul would help me out with this I would be eternally grateful.
Well, I imagine once we get it rocking for us, the whole community will be (however silently)

I gotta crash. did a no sleeper just 2 days ago. cant do another.
Later

===============================================

FROM http://www.flameeyes.eu/autotools-my...tom-tests.html

5.2. “Run Tests”
Sometimes, the mere presence of a function, or of a constant's definition, is not enough for a test to be considered successful. For instance an interface's optional function might be present as a stub returning a “not implemented” error condition, or a constant might be declared but ignored by the functions that are supposed to make use of it. For these reasons, it is sometimes a necessity to execute the code after building it, and wait for its results.

Important
Executing test code in a build scenario can be tricky: the system used to build a package might very well not be the same where the code would be executed (this is the case for most Linux – and not – distributions' build farms) which could lead to erroneous results or, in case the architectures of the two systems are not compatible, an unusable test, which will interrupt the course of the ./configure execution.

For those reasons it is important to make sure that the results of all the tests executed on the build host can be overridden. To do so, the best solution is to cache the results, so that a simple environment variable can be used to skip over the test execution, providing the correct, precalculated value.

==================================

maybe value in that.

@knc1/twobob: If there isn't, the hackish way is to pore over the configure to find the correct autoconf variable name to export to short the failing check (while making sure of using a correct value for said check ;D)).

(Because, yeah, some autoconf check like those can't work in a x-compile env, because they check the result of a compiled binary, and it's not smart enough to try to run it under qemu when the target arch doesn't match the host's).

FWIW, Samba 4 is considered *very* unstable (as in, alpha).

[twobob]

for the record. It's not the age of the TC. I tried the latest. still dies.

I'll dig up the config.log...

[twobob]

okay I tried 3.6.7 - the current.

I could get http://samba.org/samba/ftp/stable/samba-3.4.16.tar.gz tomorrow???

I'm still on the steep learning curve but yeah I think that's what thingyeyes was mooting at.

I'll see about these logs..
