Created attachment 263 [details] patch to add BR2_PACKAGE_SAMBA_LIBSMBCLIENT option The libsmbclient library is part of the samba package. It can be used to build applications that access Samba shares without the need to mount them. Currently the library is explicitly not installed by buildroot. Here's a patch that adds a config option to install it.
Created attachment 279 [details] fixed patch Sorry, the patch I attached earlier broke due to the many changes to samba.
hmm, the $(TARGET_DIR)/$(SAMBA_TARGET_BINARY) target already calls make installlibs, I take it that should either get removed or the new libsmbclient target isn't really needed?

The point of this bug report is to allow the installation of the libsmbclient library without installing any of the binaries from the samba package.
Committed, thanks!
