[squid-users] make clean install issue with squid 7

Tue Jul 22 22:13:23 UTC 2025

It states on the GitHub…. shouldn't the make config remove this automatically ?? My path to install was to download the ports and after change the makefile to point to your new version did a make makesum to fix the distrofile info and after make install clean and it will fail until you address the manual removal of the static SMB_LM
"- Remove basic_smb_lm_auth and ntlm_smb_lm_auth helpers”

I have located a possible issue with Squid 7.X downloaded from the following URL https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases/tag/SQUID_7_1 I found is the SMB_LM even when you disable smb with make config it still is listed in the Makefile even with "make rmconfig" it still lists it the make config does not remove the SMB_LM from the Makefile when you run it.

I have also tried disabling the SMB_LM helper via make config (and even using make rmconfig to reset options), but the build process still attempts to compile auth/basic/SMB_LM. Even after editing the Makefile to remove SMB_LM from BASIC_AUTH, the port continues to fail at the configure stage.
