For further information, see Samba Release Planning. To download a development version, use git to clone the repository. For details, see Using Git for Samba Development. Before a new major version is released, the Samba team publishes release candidates for testing purposes.

The configure script is located in the root of the sources directory. The main purpose of the script is to create a Makefile which is used by the command make.

The configure script enables you to set various options, like installation paths. If you do not want to customize any paths, and enable or disable parts of Samba, run the following command without any option:.

If the command fails, read the error message and fix the problem. One common problem are missing dependencies. For details, see Operating System Requirements. The following example shows the output, if the configure script cannot find the GnuTLS headers:. While running the configure script without any options is sufficient to build Samba, you can customize installation paths and enable or disable features.

To display the list of options, run:. They allow you to enable and disable features. Each option you can turn to its opposite if you use --enable instead of --disable , --with instead of --without , and the other way around. Warning: Do not enable or disable features if you have not fully understood the cause of the option! Changing options can prevent your Samba installation from working as expected!

This enables you to keep the complete Samba installation in one location. However, you can specify individual paths. For example:. The make command is able to run multiple jobs in parallel.

For example, to run 2 make sub-tasks at the same time, run:. To install the compiled software, you require root permissions to write to the destination directories and set the correct permissions. To update a self-compiled Samba installation, run the same steps like for a new installation while using the same configure options. Some situations require that you apply a patch to Samba. For example, a bug has been fixed and you you cannot wait until the new Samba version is released. To apply the patch to the Samba sources, run:.

If you have not created the script manually, see your operating system's documentation for the name of the Samba AD DC service.
