[Freeipa-devel] SSSD version pre-0.4 config problems under Ubuntu

[Miguel P.C.]

Hi again.

First of all, sorry for the worst error report ever ... :-)

Your ldb.h headers are not installed in a place that GCC searches for
headers by default. You will need to append "-I/usr/include/samba-4.0"
to your CPPFLAGS to tell GCC (and configure) where to find the headers.

This is the try of that with libldb-samba4-dev (with ldb.h in
/usr/include/samba-4.0), after "autoreconf -i -f":
[***@ella]:~$ find /usr/ | grep ldb\.h$
/usr/include/samba-4.0/ldb.h
[***@ella]:~$  CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/include/samba-4.0" ./configure
--prefix=/opt/sssd

configure: error: ./configure failed for server

I also send attached the full "configure" result, and "config.log"

/usr/include/ldb.h
/usr/include/ldb_handlers.h
but I get exactly the same error.
Any suggestion on what can be done or where should I look to solve the problem?

I doubt it's exactly the same error. Would you gzip your config.log for
each one (specifying which is which) and send them to the list so I can
take a closer look?

Ok. I attach the output for "configure" with libldb-dev.
[***@ella:~]$ find /usr/ | grep ldb\.h$
/usr/include/ldb.h
[***@ella:~/Code/sssd/tmp/sssd]$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/sssd |
tee ../0002-configure_with_libldb-dev_karmic.txt
[... snip ...]
checking for LDB... yes
checking ldb.h usability... no
checking ldb.h presence... no
checking for ldb.h... no
configure: error: LDB header files are not installed
configure: error: ./configure failed for server

Also attach both, configure result and config.log

1.- popt may be included in BUILD.txt as dependency.

You're right. I'll add that.

Thank you.

2.- a proper "make clean" or equivalent would be really good to have
in the root dir in order to ease packaging

With the new automake changes, 'make distclean' should work perfectly.
Also, 'make dist-gzip' should produce an appropriate tarball.

Thanks again!. Really.
I should have re-read Makefile more carefully.

I'll try to re-check everything when I get home.

Regards.

Sorry, in my earlier mail I wasn't descriptive enough. I need the
config.log from the 'server' directory (configure is recursively run in
that directory) as it is the one that will have the errors listed. That
was my error.

Attached.

More info second try was with: libldb-dev_1%3a0.9.3~git20090221-1_i386.deb
In my opinion this should be the one to use under Ubuntu for SSSD. Am I right?

Miguel, I did some digging into this problem today, and here's what I've
found.

The correct package to build against will be libldb-dev, not
libldb-samba-4.0-dev, as you suspected. Unfortunately, however, the
libldb-dev package in Ubuntu/Debian has a very serious bug. The ldb.h
header internally requires a header from libreplace, which is not
packaged for Debian.

I spoke with jelmer on IRC and he and Simo are going to work on getting
a new upstream build with fixes ready, and a Debian package will follow
from that.

Until that fixed package is available, I'm afraid we're at a standstill.
