Thanks Dave, that did the trick! Of course perl was installed, but not the related sub-packages. I've installed all of them (Is this the sense of YUM/RPM to install everything, what's there?)
Build.cmd conf runs now and had a lot of .idl files compiled in librpc. Unfortunately it ended up with:
...
Compiling librpc/idl/secrets.idl
Compiling librpc/idl/server_id.idl
Compiling librpc/idl/wbint.idl
Now run ./configure (or ./configure.developer) and then make.
./configure: line 154: /usr/bin/bash: No such file or directory
./configure: line 154: exec: /usr/bin/bash: cannot execute: No such file or directory
All done, took 7 min 18 sec.
Guess what, bash is installed and present.
[c:\work\samba\server\source3]ls -l /usr/bin/bash*
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 423573 5. Dez 2006 /usr/bin/bash.exe
Obviously it is not easy to follow our developers, any further hints?
