A brief howto on installing Samba 4 alpha14 on OS X.

Dependencies

Install MacPorts using the instructions on macports.org. Once your MacPorts system is set up how you like it, type in the following command to install Samba 4 dependencies.

# port install python27 python_select gnutls readline talloc && python_select python27

Compiling Samba4

$ curl http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba4/samba-4.0.0alpha14.tar.gz -o samba-4.0.0alpha14.tar.gz
$ tar -xvjf samba-4.0.0alpha14.tar.gz

Notes

  1. This was a hack to help autotools find talloc in MacPorts. TODO: Gather more info a build a bug report, if it is still required on alpha15.
  2. Configure.developer build fails when compiling pam_winbind.c. TODO: Investigate and file a bug report.
