#64 Problem building winexe on CentOS smb_static.objlist.empty.c

[aipetri]

Steps:
Trying to build WinExe on CentOS 6.4
Linux centos64-x64-single 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 22 00:31:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Pretty much follow all the instructions from README, no deviation.

Build command:
./waf configure --samba-dir=../../samba configure build

Build fails with the following error:

Update:
There seems to be a commit in the samba repo that cause this issue
If I revert my samba repo to this rev and recompile it, it works.

Sorry, didn't see #58, my post was essentially about the same prob with unlinked gnutls deps.

[Jason Haar]

See probably related #70 "winexe cannot connect to Win10 machines"

[David R. Fischer]

I was able to get past static compile on basic cent OS 7.3 clean install with samba 4-3-stable
**NOTE: no samba was installed on the install
git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba -b v4-3-stable

what i did was
mv smb_static/ smb_static.orig
ln -s ../samba/bin/default/smb_static/ smb_static/
this allowed that static to compile
changed wscript_build
changes in "if bld.env.SAMBA_DIR:"
*** lib='dl gnutls'

Hi David,
That was good timing - I foudn your comment today 1 day old, on an otherwise stale thread :-)

Trying to follow your steps above though,

original contents of smb_static dir:
$ ls smb_static.orig/
build wscript wscript_build

Contents of the symlinked one you created:
$ ls ../samba/bin/default/smb_static/
smb_static.objlist.empty_2.d smb_static.objlist.empty_2.o smb_static.objlist.empty.c

Am I missing something?

[David R. Fischer]

so the link i did is below. I also moved all the files in the winexec-winexe-waf/source/smb_static into the winexe-winexe-waf/samba/bin/default/smb_static

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 57 May 15 13:46 smb_static -> /root/git/winexe-winexe-waf/samba/bin/default/smb_static/

[Ben]

Thanks David!

Hi David,
Did you do anything else aside from doing the symlink ? which winexe commit are you using ?
I'm getting this error while compiling

/home/rpmbuild/winexe-rpm/BUILD/winexe-1.1/source/smb_static/build/libsmb_static .a(debug_8.o): In function dbgtext': debug.c:(.text+0x1d09): multiple definition ofdbgtext'

[Mai]

nevermind, i got it to work. I had to use commit hash '21c1ad4d17e923dd38799a5083c4001ba91d9a26' from Michael Stowe version. I applied your folder symlink and update wscript to build samba with --disable-gnutls

For some reason even updating wscript_build with lib='dl gnutls' under bld.env.SAMBA_DIR , i continue to get error on undefined : 'gcry_control'

I am going to retest to see if i can build samba without disabling gnutls

I am getting the same error on CentOS7 and Ubuntu Desktop 16.04...
