According to the winexe git +repository the last Samba commit winexe was updated to is 47bbf9886f0c +from November 6, 2012. As winexe uses unpublished Samba internal +libraries, it broke over time. + +This is a port of the winexe functionality to more modern Samba +versions. It still uses internal APIs, but it being part of the tree +means that it is much easier to keep up to date. + +The Windows service files were taken literally from the original +winexe from the sourceforge git. Andrzej Hajda chose GPLv3 only and +not GPLv3+. As GPL evolves very slowly, this should not be a practical +problem for quite some time. + +To build it under Linux, you need mingw binaries on your build +system. Under Debian stretch, the package names are gcc-mingw-w64 and +friends. |
