Ok, my company would like me to start discussing how to incorporate NetSNMP
into the company's build environment. I explained the following stuff:
- Indicated "./configure", "make" and "make install" were required for NetSNMP
- Indicated "snmp.conf" and "snmpd.conf" files exist to define stuff
- Indicated certain environment variables could be used if desired
- Indicated other stuff as well.... as much as I came across so far.... :>P
During this discussion, the "build-production" people at my company informed me
we can not perform the "configure" command as part of our "build process".
Instead it would be necessary to understand exactly what the "configure"
command (and I guess the "make" and "make install" commands as well) do "behind
the scenes" so our build process and perform these exact steps ourselves. I
was told we do not want to execute a script file with all of the required
commands and options in it as well.
Anyway, is this a common approach to integrating NetSNMP into a business
application (ie: not using the standard setup commands/options as part of the
command line or in a script file)? It scares me not to use the standard steps
to get NetSNMP configured/running. Perhaps someone can explain to me whether
this is weird or not. If so, then perhaps you can give me a quick overview as
to how NetSNMP should "normally" be integrated in a build system.
I understand no one knows how our build system works (neither do I), but any
input into this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Is it crazy to think we can perform everything that "./configure", "make" and
"make install" does oursleves without using those commands? Perhaps we do not
need many of the things these commands do to set up NetSNMP?
I obviously had no answers for my company on this issue, so I am asking for
help from people who have gone through this before.
