I think a to-do wiki page on github would be a good idea to deal with what needs to be done. Then, as each item is tackled we should have a wiki page that details the requirement for each list item. > > Also, how about adding the following item to the above list: getting rid > of 'makedepend' for generating dependency files.

I would also suggest looking into rolling in the #ifdef hell; as cmake can be used to deal with the things that #ifdef is dealing with. > > Bart. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Net-snmp-coders mailing list > Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders -- Thanks, Keith (pantherse) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
