It's probably worth trying to compile it anyway. If your system is reasonably similar to another supported configuration, it may well compile with little or no difficulty. The most likely source of problems will be MIB modules within the agent, as this tends to be where the most system-specific code is found.

If only a few modules fail to compile, try removing them from the agent by running "configure --with-out-mib-module=xxx,yyy", and re-compiling. If a large number of modules fail, then it might be easier to start from a relatively bare system, using "configure --enable-mini-agent --with-defaults". Then if this minimal agent compiles and runs successfully, try adding the missing mibgroups using the configure option '--with-mib-module'.

If configure fails with "invalid configuration" messages, or you get completely stuck, contact the coders list for advice. Similarly, if you manage to get this working on a new system, please let us know both details of the hardware you're using, and what versions of the operating system you've tried it on. The entry 'host' in the file 'config.status' will show this information. Oh, and congratulations!
