Samba 2.2.3a for MPE/iX

This is a preliminary prototype, weakly tested, not hp supported

This is a cleanroom implementation of Samba 2.2.3a for MPE/iX. Please do not confuse this with any HP version that might currently be available or in progress. This one here is not HP supported, use it at your own risk. It should work on MPE/iX 6.0 or later.

The binaries have been (re-) built on MPE/iX 6.0 with GNU gcc 3.0.4

This 2.2.3a version is based on my 2.0.10 diffs, but has a couple of adjustments and modifications, for example in the areas of 30000 bytes per socket send/receive or MPE specific filename mapping (New_20_Folder).

To build Samba on MPE/iX, I have used the GNU gcc compiler package as well as a few selected (object) files from the Posix Porting Wrappers on Jazz. The files that have been compiled with HP C/iX (c89) for convenience (calling MPE intrinsics is a little easier in HP C/iX than in GNU gcc) are supplied as .o files, in case you don't have c89 on your system.

To build Samba 2.2.3a/iX.pre on MPE/iX, you need the following files:

To just use precompiled binaries, you can use the following:

Have fun with Samba for MPE/iX, but keep in mind: use at your own risk
