-This describes how to port the smbwrapper portion of Samba to a new
-unix-like platform. Note that porting smbwrapper is considerably
-harder than porting Samba, for Samba you generally just need to run
-configure and recompile whereas for smbwrapper some extra effort is
-generally required.
-
-
-STEP 1
-------
-
-The first step is to work out how to create a shared library on your
-OS and how to compile C code to produce position independent object
-files (PIC files). You shoud be able to find this information in the
-man pages for your compiler and loader (ld). Then modify configure.in
-to give that information to Samba.
-
-
-STEP 2
-------
-
-The next step is to work out how to preload shared objects. On many
-systems this is done using a LD_PRELOAD environment variable. On
-others (shc as IRIX) it may use a _RTL_LIST variable.
-
-To make sure it works I suggest you create two C files like this:
-
-/* first C file */
-main()
-{
- unlink("foo.txt");
-}
-
-/* second C file */
-#include <stdio.h>
-
-int unlink(char *fname)
-{
-	fprintf(stderr,"unlink(%s) called\n",fname);
-}
-
-
-then compile the first as an ordinary C program and the second as a
-shared library. Then use LD_PRELOAD to preload the resulting shared
-library. Then run the first program. It should print "unlink(foo.txt)
-called". If it doesn't then consult your man pages till you get it
-right.
-
-Once you work this out then edit smbwrapper/smbsh.in and add a section
-if necessary to correctly set the necessary preload options for your
-OS. 
-
-
-STEP 3
-------
-
-The next step is to work out how to make direct system calls. On most
-machines this will work without any source code changes to
-smbwrapper. To test that it does work create the following C program:
-
-#include <sys/syscall.h>
-main()
-{
- syscall(SYS_write, 1, "hello world\n", 12);
-}
-
-and try to compile/run it. If it produces "hello world" then syscall()
-works as expected. If not then work out what needs to be changed and
-then make that change in realcalls.h. For example, on IRIX 6.4 the
-system call numbers are wrong and need to be fixed up by getting an
-offset right.
-
-
-STEP 4
-------
-
-Try compiling smbwrapper! Then test it. Then debug it. Simple really :)
