 Replying to [comment:8 neric27@…]:
 > Please, can you make a clear statement about why no dynamic library is
 built ?
 A dynamic library is being built, but it is not installed in the way
 samba4 expects.

 As has been previously indicated, dynamic libraries can be installed
 in the form libXYZ.dylib.[[BR]]
 They are linked in with
 {{{
 gcc ... -L... -lXYZ
 }}}

 python26 installs as a Framework.[[BR]]
 It is inteded to be linked in as
 {{{
 gcc ... -F... -framework Python
 }}}
 Although this is only possible if python_select is installed.

 To be sure to link in the correct library, you simply have to give the
 full path
 {{{
 gcc  ... ${frameworks_dir}/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python
 }}}
 ${frameworks_dir}/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python[[BR]]
 is the dynamic library, just with the Framework naming convention.

 You can ask python how to link in the library, and it would give the
 correct answer.[[BR]]
 samba4, unfortunately, does not ask python.[[BR]]
 It simply assumes the -L .. -lxxx structure.[[BR]]
 This is why the earlier post suggested that it was a samba4 problem.
