When installing Samba, you have two options. You can either download the source code and compile it yourself, or you can obtain a binary-only release if it is available for your platform.
Preparing to compile Samba 2.0 involves executing the configure script located in the source or directory of the distribution and specifying any options that you need. Versions of Samba prior to 2.0 require manually editing the make file and enabling the appropriate support for your OS. When the correct options have been set, both 2.0 and pre-2.0 distributions can be compiled by executing the make command. When the binaries have been created, they are installed to your local system by issuing make install.
