I am performing the configure (and cross-sompilation) on my Linux machine and
then copying everything I need to the target location (ie: hardware box). So
I guess I need to make sure to configure the master agent with the "target"
specific installation locations appropriately so afetr I copy everything to the
target, then it will work. I guess this is what you are saying.
Originally I did not instruct the master agent and subagent to use any specific
port and the subagent could not connect to the master agent. I then decided to
make the following changes to indicate the master agent and subagent should use
port 705:
Updated the "snmpd.conf" file to include:
master agentx
agentxsocket localhost:705
rocommunity mycommunity_ro
Updated the "ocStbHostMib_subagent.c" code file to include:
etc..
etc..
/* initialize tcpip, if necessary */
SOCK_STARTUP;
netsnmp_ds_set_string(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_X_SOCKET,
"localhost:705");
init_agent("ocStbHostMib_subagent");
etc..
etc..
.... however the subagent still could not connect to the master agent.
Perhaps the problem is that I am using the "localhost" keyword?

But you say that you ran configure using the option
"--prefix=$(BUILDROOT)/usr/local'
So the library MIB code (used by both the agent and client tools)
will be looking in $(BUILDROOT)/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
for the MIB files.

See above.

Where is the subagent trying to connect to the master agent?
I.e, what port is it trying to use?
Is the master agent listening on this port?

Yes.

No. SNMP queries and AgentX processing are two completely different
things, and use two completely separate ports.
By default, the master agent will listen for AgentX connections on the
named port /var/agentx/master. Does this socket get created when
the master agent starts up?
