I am in need of using the smbmount command under samba for SCO Openserver 5.0.6. It seems there isn't an already compiled version that has smbmount incorporated into it. I am trying to compile Samba 3.0.4. I downloaded the file samba-3.0.4.tar.gz from samba.org

This is a just a test server so I can figure out how to compile this properly. I have no previous installs of samba on this box. Some info about my server:

Single processor - PIII - 500mhz
9gb disk space
256 mb of ram
SCO 5.0.6 with the following software, patches and supplements:

GCC - GNU Compiler Collection (ver 2.95.2pl1)
GNU Libtool, a generic library support script (ver 1.3.5)
GZIP GNU Compress (ver 1.2.4)
Netscape Communicator (ver 4.7.0e)
SCO OpenServer Development System (ver 5.1.2A)
SCO OpenServer Enterprise System (ver 5.0.6j)
SCO OpenServer Linker and Application Development Libraries (ver 5.
SCO SendMail (ver 8.11.0)
Supplemental Graphics, Web and X11 Libraries (ver 1.3.2Ag)
glib, gmodule and gthread libraries (ver 1.2.3)
OSS646B - Execution Environment Supplement (ver 1.1.0j)
RS506A: Release Supplement for SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.6 (ver rs
RS506A: Software Manager Supplement (ver rs506a)

Some info on my compile process:

./configure - upon finishing, no errors reported. I do a tail on the config.log file and the last line reads: configure: exit 0

make - this is where I have an issue. Here is the error:
#make

Any info would be helpful.
 
the smbmount is not an option when using Openserver because the smbfs file system type is not supported.
