Winexe installation in Linux

Question

I am trying to compile and build winexe. I have downloaded the samba source and ran the following command to compile the winexe.

./waf configure --samba-dir=../../samba --samba-inc-dirs=../../samba/ --samba-lib-dirs=../../samba/

I am getting the following error. Please suggest me to resolve the error.

[3326/3810] Compiling default/source/smb_static/smb_static.objlist.empty.c
Waf: Leaving directory `/root/samba/bin'
Build failed: could not find 'source/smb_static/smb_static.objlist.empty.c' for

Cannot continue! Please either install Samba shared libraries and re-run waf, or download the Samba source code and re-run waf with the "--samba-dir" option.

execfile is deprecated,

edit the file "smb_static/wscript",

remove the line with execfile and use exec(open("wscript").read()) instead
