aspects of Samba. At the moment their status is "experimental" and
they are not built by default.
+In order to be able to compile samba-python you need to have python
+and the python-dev packages installed.

+Python libraries are always built for a particular version of Python
+(2.2, 2.1, etc), and libraries built for one version will not be seen
+by another. By default Samba's libraries are built for whatever is
+installed as "python" on your $PATH, but you can override this using
+the --with-python option. For example
-1. Requirements
+ $ ./configure --with-python=python2.2
-In order to be able to compile samba-python you need to have
-python and the python-dev packages installed.

-2. Checking out the CVS HEAD branch of Samba and Samba-Python
-
-In your shell, type:
-
-$ cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot login
-
-When asked for a password, type 'cvs'.
-
-Now, type:
-
-$ cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co samba
-
-This might probably take a while. When everything is downloaded,
-check out the samba-python tree:
-
-$ cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co samba-python
-
-Now that you have both cvs modules, move the directory 'samba-python' to
-inside the samba source tree, using:
-
-$ mv samba-python samba/source/python
-
-Now, go to the samba/source directory and apply the samba-head.patch patch:
-
-$ cd samba/source && patch -p0 < location/to/samba-python/samba-head.patch
-
-You can now configure samba as usual and create the python extension:
+To build:
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
git.samba.org / samba.git / commitdiff
