I can not compile samba

Question

I can not compile samba,I make the command "./configure" and it returns this error "Samba AD DC and --enable-selftest requires lmdb 0.9.16 or later"

That error message sounds pretty clear. Have you tried installing lmdb 0.9.16 or later? — ceejayoz, Sep 12 '18 at 19:05
insert the command "cd /usr/ports/databases/lmdb/ && make install clean" to install the port and also "pkg install lmdb" but it did not work — Mr.John, Sep 12 '18 at 19:37

First of all you have to install the port tree:

portsnap fetch extract

That will take some time. Then you have to move to the root of ports:

cd /usr/ports

Now you are able to search for the software you need. Do not look for the auxiliary software that called dependencies - look directly for those software you really need:

make search name=samba48

You'll get a lot of lines:

You need the second line Path: /usr/ports/net/samba48. This path is called an origin of port. All that you have to do is to make the port:

make -C /usr/ports/net/samba48 install clean

First you'll be asked for the options you want the port to be built with. And the same for all dependencies that have customizable options too. Then the build begins. Be ready that port system begin to fetch and build all the dependencies the choosed software need to be compiled. Also I suspect that you'll be warned that lot of software previously built by hands are already installed. You'll better deinstall and reinstall them all.

Once your software is being installed from ports all that you have to do is to run portsnap fetch update weelky or monthly. Then you can run the tool portmaster -L that list all the software that can be upgraded.
