Re: Compiling Samba against OpenLDAP 2.0.27

["Alexei Monastyrnyi" <alexeim@orcsoftware.com>]

I'm curious what sort of error message you have exactly.
I tried to build both samba 3.0.0alpha24 and 3.0.0beta2 with ldap support
(OpenLDAP 2.1.21) and I wasn't succeed in doing it.
Here is my error mesages on "make" stage.

Building samba 2.2.8a with ldap support is OK.

To tell the truth I see no points to strugge for 3.0beta.
It's just a curiosity if someone has it working. :-)
