Thanks for replying guys, really appreciated
OK, so I'm trying to build 3.4.4 (that's the version the SlackBuild script I mentioned above is targeting).
The error I get after running it - it seems to be decompressing the files properly - then it goes:
Code:
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/tmp/samba-3.4.4/source3':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
The actual config.log in /tmp/samba-3.4.4/source3/ says
Code:
configure:3456: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:3478: gcc -O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686 conftest.c >&5

Sorry for not posting the details earlier - I guess I was hoping someone would say: "No, you are doing it all wrong: here is a repository of pre-compiled tgz Samba versions."
