make error while trying to install dbench for iscsi

Hi,
I want to try hands-on with dbench but I am facing below error while trying to install dbench for ISCSI support

Please guide me on this.

Feature: NFSv2

libnfs now provides rpc level access to nfs v2.
Should be reasonably painless to add a nfsv2 backend to dbench.

configure: SMB support .......................... NO

Hello, I want to install dbench to test samba server load ability.
But I had a problem in the process when compiling:

checking whether libpopt is available... yes
checking whether libsmbclient is available... no
configure: Libsmbclient-dev not available. Building DBENCH without SMB support
checking whether libiscsi is available... yes
checking whether Linux SCSI Generic is available... yes
checking whether libnfs is available... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: WARNING: 'Makefile.in' seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
configure: ============================================
configure: SMB support .......................... NO
configure: LIBISCSI support ..................... YES
configure: LIBNFS support ....................... YES
configure: LINUX SCSI SG support ................ YES

My system is LinuxMint 17-MATE-32-bit
I use the command ‘sudo apt-get install libsmbclient-dev’, and run ./configure again, the results held.

How to solve the problem of unable to find libsmbclient?

Compiling Issue On Ubuntu 18.04

Apologies if this is not the correct place but when i tried to compile dbench i got the error message;

libnfs.c:28:39: error: ‘intptr_t’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘__intptr_t’?
#define discard_const(ptr) ((void *)((intptr_t)(ptr)))

Im no C developer but adding #include <stdint.h> to libnfs.c seems to have fixed the issue!

Throughput differences between dbench versions.

Hi,

Tim Bird[1] and I noticed a huge difference between the throughput results in dbench v3.04 and v4.00.
If you know the reason, could you explain it please?

Thanks,
Daniel
