[gentoo-user] net-fs/samba 4.5.16 compile fail

[Jim Burwell]

Hi,

Discovered an issue when trying to compile net-fs/samba-4.5.16.  Looks
like it involves the WAF package configuration process and/or rpcgen. 

Problem is with the source files trying to "#include <rpc/rpc.h>"
(sm_notify.c is the first the fail), the location of the glibc SunRPC
headers when it doesn't exist.  Those headers actually live in
"<tirpc/rpc/rpc.h>" but for whatever reason the build wasn't including
it, or including "-I /usr/include/tiprc" during the build.

Curiously, WAF shows that it didn't find the rpc headers (at least form
my quick perusal through the build logs), but the build is still doing
the "#include". 

Quick fix is:  $ CFLAGS "-I/usr/include/tirpc -Wl,-ltirpc" emerge -1v samba

BTW, no thanks to the a particular scold and martinet in #gentoo named
"kurly" who seemed to be itching to kick/silence for asking simple
questions (which he of course did).  People like that shouldn't have
ops, IMHO.
