tiny samba

tiny samba

[Patrick Fischer]

Hello OE.
I would like to create an tiny samba server just to share files for a windows 
clients.
A full samba is overkill. (don't need LDAP, Usermanagment,....)

Is there a tiny samba bb or any idea how to create a mini smb server?

Best regards

Patrick Fischer

I recently had the need for the same thing.  There is a samba-essentials 
recipe, but it appears to be broken in the upstream.

Bitbake will complain that it looks at source includes, but there is a 
fix in this bug:

http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2117

It also appears that the SRC_URI in samba-essential_3.0.20.bb needs to 
be fixed from

SRC_URI = "..."

to

SRC_URI += " ..."

The space is very important.

Also, bitbake complains that debug binaries are included in a non-debug 
package, so I added this:

FILES_${PN}-dbg = "${libdir}/charset/.debug \
                   ${libdir}/vfs/.debug"

This should get you a workingn tiny samba server in ~3MB.

If I get some time I'll submit a full patch via the bug tracker.
