Previous to recent commits in these past few months, it was possible to build Samba w/o the bundled libraries, but those commits now install those by default. This makes building security/sssd with SMB=on impossible. Several bug reports describe the problem: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230705 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=231846 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238465 <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230705>; <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=231846>; A couple problems contribute to the complexity here: * security/sssd is woefully out of date at v1.11 while the project is shipping v2.2 * Samba bundles dependencies * Recent commits to Samba ports have made it impossible to build SSSD w/ SMB=on I've not been able to spend any time because of a plethora of competing priorities though submitted patches can be tested with relative ease. That said, my preference is to always build/install recent software and dependencies. Maintaining old software and dependencies is too much work for so little benefit. This is to say it would be good to see SSSD 2.2 with a dependency on a recent Samba. -- Take care Rick Miller
