This makes it easier to distinguish standard samba builds from custom-build samba builds (distributions often patch packages). For example, a good version would be: </p><pre class="programlisting"> Version 2.999+3.0.alpha21-5 for Debian </pre></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2519251"></a>Modules</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>Samba now has support for building parts of samba as plugins. This makes it possible to, for example, put ldap or mysql support in a separate package, thus making it possible to have a normal samba package not depending on ldap or mysql. To build as much parts of samba as a plugin, run: </p><pre class="programlisting"> ./configure --with-shared-modules=rpc,vfs,auth,pdb,charset </pre></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="pt05.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="pt05.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> </td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Part V.
