== How to install samba-4.1.16 on aix-6.1 == |
|||
Joost van Baal-Ilić, credativ BV, february 2015 |
|||
Based upon instructions by Noël Köthe, credativ GmbH, sept 2014. |
|||
We describe how to build, configure, pack/unpack and install Samba --the Open Source SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix-- version 4.1.16 on a PowerPC running IBM's AIX 6.1. |
|||
=== Building and installing === |
|||
* Install the IBM compiler xlc version 13.1.0. (Compiling with gcc won't work, see https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10828 .) |
|||
* Install python + dependencies; since Samba uses python for its build system. Likely these RPMs suffice: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
bash-4.2-12.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
bzip2-1.0.6-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
db4-4.7.25-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
expat-2.1.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
fontconfig-2.10.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
freetype2-2.5.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
gdbm-1.11-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
gettext-0.17-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
glib2-2.38.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
gmp-5.1.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
info-5.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
libXft-2.3.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
libXrender-0.9.8-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
libgcc-4.8.2-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
libiconv-1.14-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
libpng-1.6.9-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
libstdc++-4.8.2-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm |
|||

|||

|||

|||
python-devel-2.7.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm |
|||

|||
readline-6.2-5.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
renderproto-0.11.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||

|||
tcl-8.5.15-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
tk-8.5.15-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
zlib-1.2.8-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
|||
</pre> |
|||
Install them by running: |
|||
# rpm -ivh * --nodeps |
|||
* In a directory with enough space (ideally _not_ under the install root /appl/samba), unpack the samba sources |
|||
# gunzip samba-4.1.17.tar.gz && tar -xf samba-4.1.17.tar && cd samba-4.1.17 |
|||
* Build and install |
|||
# export PATH=$PATH:/opt/IBM/xlC/13.1.0/bin/ |
|||
# ./configure --prefix=/appl/samba --check-c-compiler=xlc |
|||
[...] |
|||
'configure' finished successfully |
|||
# make |
|||
[...] |
|||
Compiling ... |
|||
Linking ... |
|||
'build' finished successfully |
|||
# make install |
|||
[...] |
|||
'install finished successfully' |
|||
* Fix missing symlinks to .so-files [1]: |
|||
# cd /appl/samba/lib/private/ |
|||
# ls | grep "so\.[0-9]$" | while read f; do ln -s $f ${f%.?}; done |
|||
# ls | grep "so\.[0-9][0-9]$" | while read f; do ln -s $f ${f%.??}; done |
|||
See also http://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10840 NB: this is NOT the same as Noël's script! |
|||
* Add a configuration file: |
|||
# vi /appl/samba/etc/smb.conf |
|||
This one works for tests: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
[global] |
|||
workgroup = SIM |
|||
netbios name = SERVERNAME |
|||
server string = Fileserver |
|||
security = user |
|||
;interfaces = en 192.168.1.2/24 |
|||
;bind interfaces ony = yes |
|||
log level = 2 |
|||
log file = /appl/samba/logs/log.%m |
|||
syslog = 0 |
|||
[SHARE] |
|||
comment = production share |
|||
path = /LOCAL/EXISTING/PATH/OF/A/SHARE |
|||
read only = no |
|||
;create mask = 0775 |
|||
directory mask = 775 |
|||
;valid user = |
|||
;force user = |
|||
;force group = |
|||
</pre> |
|||

|||
=== Testing === |
|||
In order to run the samba binaries, set this: |
|||
# export LIBPATH=/appl/samba/lib:/appl/samba/lib/private |
|||
Start the Samba daemon: |
|||
# /appl/samba/sbin/smbd -D |
|||
Test samba: |
|||
# /appl/samba/bin/smbclient -L localhost |
|||
Add a samba user, and give this user a samba password, for more testing: |
|||
# /appl/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a <localunixusername> |
|||
[...] |
|||
"Added user [...] |
|||
Test a user login: |
|||
# /appl/samba/bin/smbclient -U <username> //localhost/INTERFACES |
|||
smb: \> ls |
|||
[...] |
|||
smb: \> cd .snapshot |
|||
smb: \.snapshot\> ls |
|||
[...] |
|||
Show the connected clients |
|||
# smbstatus |
|||
== Installing on another AIX 6 system == |
|||
Create a tar archive of /appl/samba to copy /appl/samba to the other machine. |
|||
(NB: tar as shipped with AIX does not support the z-flag. Manually g(un)zip the .tar if needed.) |
|||
After unpacking this file there, and creating /appl/samba/etc/smb.conf, one can start smbd: |
|||
# export LIBPATH=/appl/samba/lib:/appl/samba/lib/private |
|||
# /appl/samba/sbin/smbd -D |
|||
No need to run ./configure or make, no need to install xlc. You _do_ need Python to run Samba. |
|||
[1] When these symlinks are not created, trying to run smbclient will give |
|||
an error 'Cannot load module libtevent.so.' |
