I'm totaly newbish to linux and i was trying to modifying some privilege on the user.

unfortunatly that's dont have seems to work so i have decide to install a new samba

after downloading the package, tar, configure, make, make install i was happy to test the new feature of the last samba

but i have a problems:

/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd: can't resolve symbol 'stdout'

i have no idea how to fix that or how to go back to the previous version :(

I've also tried to compile a new version of Samba server (3.0.23c and 3.0.26a), but the journey stopped at the same problem as yours:

[root @ 10.0.0.10 samba]# ./startsmb
/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd: can't resolve symbol 'stdout'
/usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd: can't resolve symbol 'stdout'
/usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd: can't resolve symbol 'stdout'

Have you made any progress with this problem ?

Hi,

I've just run into the same situation but have already found a way to get out of it.

The binaries you are searching for (and that helped me) can be found in the archive provided at http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/backup-images-of-mybook

Hope this helps.

Thanks :-)

That helped a lot. By using the backup image I was running Samba 3 minuts later…. Yeah! Just copied the /usr/local/samba files to my bricked samba installation and started the server with /etc/init.d/samba start

I have managed to get samba compiled and running on my system. It took me a while to get it up. Binaries are available as well, just download the files and run 'make install'. More details at http://ribosome.natur.cuni.cz/~mmokrejs/MyBookWorldII/ . Cheers!

mmokrejs,

I have tried to follow your steps :
- downloaded your package, unzip, untared
- went to source directory, launched make install, that went fine
- when I wanted to start samba again, it complained about std out ??????
- i went back to the former situation with make revert, which did fortunately work

Any guess on why I'm getting the stdout issue ?

Thanks, 3djc

I'm using uclibc. SAMBA has a -pie or -fPIE option in the makefile linker flags. Take out every reference to that.

Hi,

So, after downloading and uncompressing your binary "samba-3.0.27a-armv5tejl.tar.bz2" you suggest removing all references to "-pie" from "samba-3.0.27a/source/Makefile" (I couldn't find any reference to "-fPIE"), then run "make install"?

In the Makefile I found 2 references to "-pie":

LDFLAGS=-pie

…and…

replacetort: $(REPLACETORT_OBJ) bin/.dummy
        @echo Linking $@
        @$(CC) $(FLAGS) -pie -o $@ $(REPLACETORT_OBJ) $(LDFLAGS) \
                $(DYNEXP) $(LIBS)

Can you clarify what I should do?

Many thanks,

Chod.

Sorry, I have placed an updated STATIC binary archive under http://ribosome.natur.cuni.cz/~mmokrejs/MyBookWorldII/binaries/samba-3.0.28a-armv5tejl.tar.bz2 .

Take the easy way, use optware to install samba.

I'm having a similar problem with - "smbd: can't resolve symbol 'stderr'"
already changed the "HAVE_STDIO_H 1" in the config but still the same error.

Could anyone please try and help me to resolve it?

Thanks,
Asaf.
