#74 Winexec in Suse 11
Hi, I'm trying to deploy Winexec in Suse 11, but I'm getting crazy.
'configure' finished successfully (1m14.939s)
Selected embedded Heimdal build

Cannot continue! Please either install Samba shared libraries and re-run waf, or download the Samba source code and re-run waf with the "--samba-dir" option.

I get the same error with samba 4.3.0 or 4.2.4. It doesn't mind if I build in share instead of static.
The file source/smb_static/smb_static.objlist.empty.c exists, but it's empty.
Hi, better late than never, and maybe this will help others. I'm not sure if this will work for Suse but I ran into the same problem with Centos 6. The solution I found was here: http://rand0m.org/2015/08/05/winexe-1-1-centos-6-and-windows-2012-r2/
As best I can tell this is related to a change with Samba 4 and gnutls but I didn't dig too deep as it worked.
Also, if you don't need statically linked Samba libs there's a shared lib workaround here: https://sourceforge.net/p/winexe/bugs/77/ that worked in Centos 6.
Good luck.
