As Michael and I discussed today at great length on IRC (http://samba.sernet.de/irclog/2008/09/20080912-Fri.log) there is a problem in the build ordering of libnetapi on FreeBSD.

When building v3-devel with the following relevant library options:

  --enable-static=no 
  --enable-shared=yes 
  --enable-shared-libs 
  --without-libtalloc 
  --without-libnetapi 
  --without-libaddns 
  --without-libsmbclient 

The build fails with:

Compiling iniparser_build/iniparser.c
Compiling iniparser_build/dictionary.c
Compiling iniparser_build/strlib.c

*** Error code 1

This only happens on FreeBSD (6.1) and works fine on Ubuntu 7.10.  

My current theory, is that the problem is a difference in the way FreeBSD make and GNU make handle the :: rule operator.  All library files should be compiled at the beginning of the make process because the rule:

all:: SHOWFLAGS libs $(SBIN_PROGS) $(BIN_PROGS) $(ROOT_SBIN_PROGS) \
        $(MODULES) $(NSS_MODULES) $(PAM_MODULES)  bin/winbind_krb5_locator.so

However, the dependency for libs is specified on several different lines, one for each library.  Under FreeBSD make, the invocation of the libs dependency in all:: seems to only build the first libs:: rule, libtalloc.  Whereas, using gmake, all libs are built at the beginning of the compilation.

I'll attach two separate build logs, the first using FreeBSD make, the second using gmake on the same machine.  These show the difference in compilation order with the same Makefile.
