SUMMARY: How to compile Samba on Solaris8/SPARC with large file support?

I did find the source code for samba 2.2.2 and 2.2.5. It is not
available on www.samba.org anymore. It seems that Samba 2.2.5 is the
last version which works for files>2GB in Solaris. Any later version
seems to be broken. Maybe it's time to contact the samba developers...

The suggestion were:

1) filesystem with largefiles support? 
   Yes, it is both SAMFS from LSC/SUN on the source and destination machine.

2) Why not use the version that's on the Companion CD from Sun?
   I'm not sure where to find the CD. Probably the samba version is too old.

I am trying to upgrade samba 2.2.2 (from sunfreeware) with a newer
version, because that old version has some bad memory leaks. I have used
different compilers (gcc 2.95.3, gcc 3.2 - but no SUN cc) and different
samba versions (2.2.6, 2.2.7 and 3.0.alpha20. Writing files >2GB to the
server still doesn't work:

smb: \> put  CTPR02_CompleteBackup.bkf.gz
putting file CTPR02_CompleteBackup.bkf.gz as
\CTPR02_CompleteBackup.bkf.gz Error writing file: NT_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE
(5244.4 kb/s) (average 5244.4 kb/s)

The truncated filesize is 2147491840 ( = 2 GB + 8k )

Google didn't find anything helpful. The samba 2.2.2 package from
sunfreeware seems to work fine with large files.

How to compile samba to support files bigger than 2GB and who has a
recent binary?

Thanks,
Bernhard
