Hi Dave,

The 20080711 package is a code snapshot. It is much newer than 3.5.0.
(And IIRC it contains a newer samba package).
Try it, it should be very close to the uClinux-dist-20080808 release.
Though I suspect that the samba in there doesn't work on non-MMU
systems.
Greg,
Thanks for your reply. To be clear, I'm not actually trying to run samba on a non-MMU system (right now it's an x86 system). The reason I'm using Snapgear, is because I'd like my system to remain small, and I'd like to have the option to do a relatively painless port to ARM at some point.
Ok.
Do you have any pointers to Samba patches that will allow it to work on a uClibc based system with an MMU? Surely there must be people out there doing this for small/cheap NAS boxes.
The samba soure in the uClinux-dist-20080808 is patched to work
(with uClibc) and runs on MMU systems.
(The snapgear package releases are the same as the uClinux-dist
packages).
Alternately, are there any plans to re-introduce glibc into snapgear? I could
deal with the increase in image footprint that would come with snapgear+glibc,
but I'm not really ready to accept the footprint increase that would come with
using some of the larger glibc based Linux distros (DENX, Debian, etc.).
Well, actually, there is...
Upcoming patch sets for the uClinux-dist will have support for
building glibc again (via a download when wanted machanism -
instead of glibc source in the package).
I don't know exactly when the next patch for that will do up.
But I am hoping for sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Regards
Gerg
