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.

jzip 1196716334|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

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

Thaks againg

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.

mybooker 1210359657|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Mine came with 2.00.18 firmware and i have installed the new samba with optware, how can i make the new version auto start instead of the old one?

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.

Hi,

did anyone of you try to install new Samba 3.2? If yes, can anyone create a guide or give me the link to place where I find how to install the Samba 3.2? The reason why I'm asking is that in the description they say that uses less system resources… I guess that it can be usefull for MBWE…

Thanks,

I tried it installing with optware, but didn't work. Unfortunatelly I don't have enough linux experience. If somene could post a guide, I would appreciate it.

here is a bit start script you may be interesting, modified /etc/init.d/samba.sh

1. Start Samba

SMBD_LOG=$LOGS/log.smbd

start() {

Hi All,
I am New to this, Just tried to upgrade samba to the latest 3.4.5 yesterday, took me 6 hours to compile from source directly on MyBook, got the source from http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-3.4.5.tar.gz
run ./configure, make, then make installbin
walla got the samba 3.4.5 working on MyBook World II blue ring.
there is some improvement in listing file on the share, but transfer cant feel any improvement at all. but I didnot have any baseline to compare anyway, but the folder and file browsing I can feel drastic improvement.
I am using fw 2.0.19, and recover the gcc for compiling.
