Installation instructions for Samba on MacOS X
----------------------------------------------

Step zero : install devtools (it's on this cd)

Step one ... read the HTML file that is in .doc
Yes you WILL read that file ! YES IT IS REALLY
NESSESAIRY THAT YOU READ IT ! Yes .. do it..
YES NOW ! grmbl.. you moron

Step two .. install the package libdl.pkg in
Support. This is a library that emulates dlopen()
which is used for loading dynamicly linked object
files. MacOS X has it's own way for this ..
the package is a wrapper for this functionality.
Without it .. Samba (and most Unix applications)
will NOT compile.

Step tree
Go to Samba/samba-2.2.3a/source

I have precompiled Samba on my iMac for you; if you want
to undo that compilation do :
$ make clean

Now run these commands :
$ ./configure --with-syslog --prefix=/etc/samba --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/etc/samba --mandir=/usr/share/man
$ make
# make install

Now copy StartupItems_Samba/* to the StartupItems dir
# mkdir /Library/StartupItems/Samba
# cp * /Library/StartupItems/Samba/
# chown 755 /Library/StartupItems/Samba/Samba
# chown 644 /Library/StartupItems/Samba/StartupParameters.plist


and configure /etc/samba/smb.conf

finally.. restart the mac or start samba

Samba should be installed now ...

smb.conf is a sample configfile
