I'm trying to run configure from a fresh git checkout, but I get:

Code:

checking for main in -lsmbclient... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.

But why is the samba client library required?

I just want to build a version on Linux without using windows shares as I'm using NFS to mount media files from my server.

With libsmbclient present I get some undefined references during the autoconf test:

Code:

/usr//lib/libsmbclient.so: undefined reference to `talloc_named_const@TALLOC_2.0.2'

talloc is the malloc used in samba, but I don't know why it's not defined.

It seems like the code is structured to do without the samba client code:

Code:

xbmc/filesystem/SMBDirectory.cpp:
#if defined(HAS_FILESYSTEM_SMB)

So why is it required in autoconf?

Because it hasn't been added as a optional dependency, patches welcomed.

OK. Thanks. I'll see if I can get it compiled without it.
