Does it run on Windows?

The suite should compile and run on Win32 platforms, including the library, command-line tools and the basic agent framework. Note that the agent now includes support for the MIB-II module, but this requires Microsoft's Core Platform SDK. Instructions for how to install this are given in README.win32.

Pre-compiled binaries are available from the project web site.

As of v5.4, the Net-SNMP agent is able to load the Windows SNMP service extension DLLs by using the Net-SNMP winExtDLL extension.

Some other Net-SNMP MIB modules, including the UCD pass-through extensions, do not currently work under Windows. Volunteers to assist with these missing modules are likely to welcomed with open arms :-)

Further details of Windows support (currently Visual C++, MinGW and Cygnus cygwin32) is available in the file README.win32.
