My progress has slowly taken a few backwards steps.
Trying to compile the NetSNMPv5.4 package on my PC (to verify it works), I can
issue the "./configure"(see below), "make" and "make install" command. As a
result, the "/export/home/rosent1/snmp/usr/local" directory is populated with a
bunch of stuff (as expected).
./configure \
--prefix=/export/home/rosent1/snmp/usr/local \
--srcdir=/export/home/rosent1/snmp/net-snmp \
--with-default-snmp-version="3" \
--with-sys-contact="contact" \
--with-sys-location="location" \
--with-logfile="/export/home/rosent1/snmp/net-snmp/var/log/snmpd.log" \
--with-persistent-directory="/export/home/rosent1/snmp/net-snmp/var/net-snmp" \
--disable-embedded-perl \
--without-perl-modules
I noticed in the "/export/home/rosent1/snmp/usr/local/lib" directory there are
files which are created which are in the form of the following:
lib(xxxxxx).a
lib(xxxxxx).la
lib(xxxxxx).so
lib(xxxxxx).so.15
lib(xxxxxx).so.15.0.0
Next, I compiled my subAgent and was able to start the master agent (snmpd) and
my subagent and perform some snmp requests.
Now, if I repeat the entire process from the beginning again but use the
"--disable-shared" option in the configure (see below), then the
"lib(xxxxxx).so"
"lib(xxxxxx).so.15", "lib(xxxxxx).so.15.0.0" files are not produced. When I
try to start my subAgent without these files existing, then I get an error
indicating the need for these files to exist. Why does "--disable-shared"
cause these files not to be produced?
./configure \
--prefix=/export/home/rosent1/snmp/usr/local \
--srcdir=/export/home/rosent1/snmp/net-snmp \
--with-default-snmp-version="3" \
--with-sys-contact="contact" \
--with-sys-location="location" \
--with-logfile="/export/home/rosent1/snmp/net-snmp/var/log/snmpd.log" \
--with-persistent-directory="/export/home/rosent1/snmp/net-snmp/var/net-snmp" \
--disable-embedded-perl \
--without-perl-modules \
--disable-shared
** When it came time to cross-compile the NetSNMP package to use in our
hardware box environment (rather than just testing it on a PC), then the only
way I could get the code to finally compile was if I used the
"--disable-shared" option. Anyway, I just discovered that using this option
stops the required library files from being produced, which is bad. This
means, if I must not use the "--disable-share" option, then my
cross-compilation will now fail.
Anyway, perhaps someone can explain why these library files do not show up when
I use the "--disable-shared" configure option. I will then decide whether I
should actually be using this option, and if not, then will have to figure out
some more cross-compilation errors later.
