It doesn't matter.
The whole point of a standalone subagent is that it's standalone.
It doesn't depend on the rest of the source tree.
As long as you've got the Net-SNMP suite installed, the
Makefile will pick up the headers and libraries from their
installed locations.

Does it produce any error messages?
Try running it as
/export/home/myname/snmp/usr/local/sbin/snmpd -f -Le
What does it display?

The file 'example-demon.c' is the framework for an AgentX subagent.
This is basically equivalent to the framework that
net-snmp-config --compile-subagent
will generate.
This is then linked together with the code from 'nstAgentSubagentObject.c',
which is where the NET-SNMP-TUTORIAL-MIB.txt stuff is implemented.
These two code files are compiled and linked together to produce the binary
'example-demon'

Because there are two (or more) code files that are compiled into the
example-demon binary - not just example-demon.c.
Try watching what happens when you run "make"
