With Samba 3.0.x, I would: 1. configure 2. make 3. make test 4. make install (if all went well)
When I do a 'make test' with Samba 3.2.0, though, I eventually run into problems like this: RUNNING TESTS testparm_s3 Testing netbios name (0) TEST OUTPUT: Load smb config files from /home/david/build/samba-3.2.0/source/st/lib/smb.conf.tmp params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file: netbios map_file: Failed to load /usr/local/samba/samba-3.2.0/lib/valid.dat - No such file or directory creating default valid table Loaded services file OK. ERROR: lock directory /usr/local/samba/samba-3.2.0/var/locks does not exist ERROR: pid directory /usr/local/samba/samba-3.2.0/var/locks does not exist Ignoring for the moment the "badly formed line" in the smb.conf.tmp generated by the test harness, I see that it's looking to the install directory for files that won't be there until I do a make install. Is this a bug, or is it simply no longer possible to test Samba in-place before installing it?
