MrFloppy Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hi folks, I had experienced some severe trouble with SMB shares in heterogeneous networks in the past and the solution was to kick Apple's SMB implementation to the curb and install Samba 3 via Homebrew. This was the first time I compiled something "myself" but since Homebrew is quite easy to use that wasn't really rocket science as you surely know. Then I thought, if you get Samba why not use the latest stable Samba 4 release (Homebrew sticks to Samba 3), to my understanding the building process is ./configure, make and make install. Well, ./configure finishes successfully but the make step aborts, here are links to the Terminal outputs: ./configure: http://pastebin.com/mH96ZdGr make: http://pastebin.com/cmEWHdpp Does anyone know how to fix this? My system is 10.9.5, Xcode is up-to-date. Thank you very much for your help! Regards, MrFloppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuralArchitect Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It is my understanding that Samba has ended support for OS X. That is why Homebrew does not support. It is obviously possible to get it working on OS X though because MacPorts has done so. I would propose that you use the MacPorts version because it is apparently rather complicated to get it to compile on a Mac. However, MacPorts is not compatible with Homebrew so if you have lots of things installed with Homebrew that may not be a viable option either. I really is frustrating that Apple's support for SMB has been so shoddy since they implemented their own version of Samba, called SMBX, with the release of Lion. Good luck! I too am trying to figure out a way to get some kind of simple filesharing going on my home network between both Windows & OS X machines. Beginning to wonder if there are any other- completely different options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
