Operating System-independent Overview

The following is an operating system-independent list of libraries and utilities required to build and install Samba. Depending on your distribution, the name of packages can differ. Usually library packages are named lib*-devel or lib*-dev. For a list of distribution specific package installation commands, see Distribution-specific Packages Required to Build Samba.


Mandatory

Libraries and utilities Required for
python Several utilities, such as samba-tool and the build system (Waf), are written in Python.
perl
acl Required only on Samba Active Directory domain controllers and member servers using Windows ACLs.
xattr Required only on Samba Active Directory domain controllers and member servers using Windows ACLs.
python-crypto Samba AD DC only. Required by samba-tool, for example, to establish trusts.


Optional

Libraries and utilities Required for
krb5-devel and krb5-server MIT Kerberos support (Samba 4.7 and later). Requires MIT Kerberos 1.15.1 or later.
blkid
gnutls
jansson-devel Audit logging (Samba 4.7 and later)
readline
bsd or setproctitle Process title updating support.
xsltproc or docbook Man pages and other documentation.
pam-devel PAM support. For example, to authenticate domain users using PAM.
cups CUPS printer sharing support.
openldap NT4 Domains support, including the Samba NT4 to AD migration (Classic Upgrade).


Selftest

The following additional packages / utilities are required only for running some tests.

Libraries and utilities Required for
bash Some blackbox tests are bash-specific
python-markdown Reading Microsoft AD schema from github
patch Running some AD DC database tests

Distribution-specific Packages Required to Build Samba


Samba Active Directory Domain Controller

The following installation commands include the BIND DNS server. If you are using the Samba internal DNS server, omit the BIND package(s). However, you require the package containing the nsupdate utility to enable dynamic DNS support.


Debian / Ubuntu

# apt-get install acl attr autoconf bind9utils bison build-essential \
  debhelper dnsutils docbook-xml docbook-xsl flex gdb libjansson-dev krb5-user \
  libacl1-dev libaio-dev libarchive-dev libattr1-dev libblkid-dev libbsd-dev \
  libcap-dev libcups2-dev libgnutls28-dev libgpgme-dev libjson-perl \
  libldap2-dev libncurses5-dev libpam0g-dev libparse-yapp-perl \
  libpopt-dev libreadline-dev nettle-dev perl perl-modules pkg-config \
  python-all-dev python-crypto python-dbg python-dev python-dnspython \
  python3-dnspython python-gpgme python3-gpgme python-markdown python3-markdown \
  python3-dev xsltproc zlib1g-dev liblmdb-dev lmdb-utils

Notes:

  • Before Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04, libgnutls28-dev was known as libgnutls-dev.
  • perl-modules was replace by perl-modules-5.24 on Debian 9
  • perl-modules was replace by perl-modules-5.26 on Ubuntu 17.10
  • python-gpgme and python3-gpgme were replaced by python-gpg and python3-gpg on Debian 9 and Ubuntu 17.10
  • If you are building Samba on a system that uses systemd, you will also require the libsystemd-dev package
  • To use a MIT Kerberos KDC, you will need libkrb5-dev and krb5-kdc, version 1.15.1 or greater.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 / CentOS 7 / Scientific Linux 7

Install the following packages to build Samba as an Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC) on a minimal Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, CentOS 7, or Scientific Linux 7 installation:

 # yum install attr bind-utils docbook-style-xsl gcc gdb krb5-workstation \
       libsemanage-python libxslt perl perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker \
       perl-Parse-Yapp perl-Test-Base pkgconfig policycoreutils-python \
       python2-crypto gnutls-devel libattr-devel keyutils-libs-devel \
       libacl-devel libaio-devel libblkid-devel libxml2-devel openldap-devel \
       pam-devel popt-devel python-devel readline-devel zlib-devel systemd-devel \
       lmdb-devel jansson-devel gpgme-devel pygpgme libarchive-devel


If the DC should act as print server (not recommended) with CUPS back end, additionally install:

# yum install cups-devel

Fedora

To install the build dependencies for Samba on Fedora, run the following command:

# dnf builddep samba

openSUSE

# zypper install libacl-devel python-selinux autoconf make \
    python-devel gdb sqlite3-devel libgnutls-devel binutils \
    policycoreutils-python setools-libs selinux-policy \
    setools-libs popt-devel libpcap-devel keyutils-devel \
    libidn-devel libxml2-devel libacl-devel libsepol-devel \
    libattr-devel zlib-devel cyrus-sasl-devel gcc \
    krb5-client openldap2-devel libopenssl-devel\
    bind-utils bind-lib


Gentoo

Please note that the following sections assume at least an intermediate understanding of the Gentoo packaging system.


Python

Gentoo uses Python 3 as the default python interpreter, but at this time Samba requires Python 2 (2.4.2 or later). The following set of commands will install and set up Python 2 as the default python interpreter.

# emerge --ask --noreplace '<dev-lang/python-3'
# eselect python set python2.7
# python-updater


Kerberos

On Gentoo, you have two choices for a kerberos implementation, app-crypt/mit-krb5 and app-crypt/heimdal. Unfortunately the two implementations can not be installed at the same time. Currently, the Samba only supports app-crypt/heimdal. So you must first uninstall app-crypt/mit-krb5, if installed. Then install app-crypt/heimdal and rebuild any packages that were using the previous kerberos implementation.

# emerge --unmerge --ask app-crypt/mit-krb5
# emerge --ask app-crypt/heimdal
# revdep-rebuild -- -ask


BIND

To enable automatic zone management, net-dns/bind and net-dns/bind-tools should be emerged with the USE flags for berkdb, dlz and gssapi set. To enable them permanently, add the following to /etc/package.use:

net-dns/bind berkdb dlz gssapi
net-dns/bind-tools gssapi

Then, emerge net-dns/bind:

# emerge --ask  net-dns/bind net-dns/bind-tools


Samba-supplied Libraries (tdb/ldb/tevent)

There are a few Samba libraries that need to be installed. Note that these packages might be keyworded as unstable, so you might need to add the following to your /etc/package.keywords:

~sys-libs/tevent-0.9.17
~sys-libs/tdb-1.2.10
~sys-libs/ldb-1.1.12
~sys-libs/talloc-2.0.7

Additionally, Samba requires sys-libs/tdb and sys-libs/talloc to be emerged with the USE flag python set. To enable this permanently, add the following to /etc/package.use:

sys-libs/tdb python
sys-libs/talloc python

Note: In new(er) installations of Gentoo, the above files will be located in /etc/portage/, i.e. /etc/portage/package.keywords and /etc/portage/package.use. They may be symlinked to /etc for backward compatibility.

Now, emerge the packages:

# emerge --ask '=sys-libs/talloc-2.0.7' '=sys-libs/tdb-1.2.10' '=sys-libs/tevent-0.9.17' '=sys-libs/ldb-1.1.12'

Note that ebuilds for the required versions of the above packages might not be availiable in the portage tree. In this case, check Gentoo's Bugzilla for updated ebuilds.


Other Misc. Build/Run Dependencies

To ensure a successful Samba 4 installation, there are a few other packages that should be installed, as shown below:

# emerge --ask net-libs/gnutls sys-apps/acl dev-libs/cyrus-sasl dev-python/subunit dev-python/dnspython net-dns/libidn 

FIXME: Are dev-python/dnspython net-dns/libidn still required?
