Here's how to compile and get started with SAMBA, which may come in handy if you need to set up a mixed environment.
Compiling
sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget http://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/samba-latest.tar.gz
tar -xvf samba-latest.tar.gz
cd samba-3.6.3/
cd source3
./configure
make
sudo checkinstall
You may want to look through the checkinstall settings:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/libtalloc.so.2 /usr/lib/libtalloc.so.2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/libtdb.so.1 /usr/lib/libtdb.so.1
Finally, create smb.conf in /etc/samba/ and make samba find it using a symlink
sudo mkdir /etc/samba
sudo touch /etc/samba/smb.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/samba/smb.conf /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
Errors:
Solution:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
error:
put /usr/local/samba/bin in PATH
export $PATH=PATH:/usr/local/samba/bin
error:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/libtalloc.so.2 /usr/lib/libtalloc.so.2
error:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/libtdb.so.1 /usr/lib/libtdb.so.1
Error:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/libwbclient.so.0 /usr/lib/libwbclient.so.0
error:
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient: Can't load /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it
solution:
because I know where debian normally puts the smb.conf --
sudo mkdir /etc/samba
sudo touch /etc/samba/smb.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/samba/smb.conf /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
Configuration:
Following https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html#id2551954
Minimal /etc/samba/smb.conf:
Iptables
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT
Compiling
sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget http://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/samba-latest.tar.gz
tar -xvf samba-latest.tar.gz
cd samba-3.6.3/
cd source3
./configure
make
sudo checkinstall
You may want to look through the checkinstall settings:

sudo mkdir /etc/samba
sudo touch /etc/samba/smb.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/samba/smb.conf /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
Done. Sort of. You need to configure samba using smb.conf...a minimal configuration file can be found at the end of the post.
Errors:
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/home/verahill/tmp/samba-3.6.3/source3':

This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
