Subject: bug#26797: qemu looks for smbd at /usr/sbin
Date: Sat, 06 May 2017 12:26:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zieq2sdx.fsf@elephly.net> (raw)
Qemu comes with support for sharing files with a guest via Samba. This
is done by appending something like this to the qemu-system-*
invocation:
… -net user,smb=$HOME/Downloads -net nic
Qemu needs to be told *at configure time* where the smbd executable will
be at runtime. By default this is /usr/sbin/smbd. Users can work
around this problem by installing the “samba” package and creating a
link from /usr/sbin/smbd to the actual executable.
It would be better to fix this, but this would require adding samba as a
dependency to Qemu, so that the location can be set at configure time.
Alternatively, we could patch Qemu to look for smbd depending on an
environment variable.
