Description Charlie 2017-03-16 16:53:40 UTC 
I am trying to build the 4.6.0 version of smbclient.exe on cygwin, in order to enable our Windows 7 workstations to communicate with encrypted SMB3 shares.

The configure fails with the perl error below.

If you have built this already on cygwin and you have a binary to share, then this ticket can be immediately closed.

I also tried export PERL_LIB_INSTALL_DIR=/var/perl to no avail.



./configure configure --without-ad-dc --with-static-modules=ALL --nonshared-binary=ALL

Comment 1 Charlie 2017-03-21 20:48:48 UTC 
I've made the change documented at this website:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/samba/msg138538.html

I'm getting much further in the build process with that change in place.

I'm working with the 4.1.23 version for the moment, as this is the minimum version where smbclient can do encrypted SMB3.

I was wrong - still failing at:
