Build System

For Users

Unix

 ./configure [options, see "configure --help" for a list]
 make
 make test
 su
 make install

The same procedure applies to builds with Cygwin on Windows.
See README.* for important notes for particular platforms.

Windows

There are several ways to build on Windows:

• MS Visual C++
• MinGW / MSYS
• Cygwin (see "Unix" above)

See README.win32 for further details.

For Coders

Tool Versions

Trunk uses autoconf 2.61 while the others use 2.59. Make sure you use the right one when applying changes!
Trunk and V5-4-patches ship with libtool 1.5.24, the older branches use libtool 1.5.22.

Files

• configure: auto-generated by autoconf from configure.in
• configure.in: major source file to implement configure magic. Run autoconf and autoheader after any change. New definitions may need to be copied to win32/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h[.in].
• acconfig.h: autoconf variable definitions, descriptions and default values. Deprecated (for new definitions) in favor of AC_DEFINE() in configure.in. Run autoheader after any change. New definitions may need to be copied to win32/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h[.in].
• acinclude.m4: Net-SNMP specific autoconf macros. Run autoconf after any change.
• include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h: auto-generated by autoheader from configure.in and acconfig.h
• ltmain.sh: copied from libtool (created/updated by libtoolize --copy --force)
• aclocal.m4: contains libtool.m4 copied from libtool (created/updated by aclocal)
• config.guess: platform detection shell script (created/updated by libtoolize --copy --force; from GNU config project)
• win32/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h.in: used by win32/Configure to create win32/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h
• win32/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h: definitions for Win32 (non-Cygwin) builds
• win32/lib*/lib*.def: public/exported symbols/functions from Net-SNMP libraries for Win32 builds. If you introduce new public functions, please also add them here!
• Makefile.in (also in most sub-directories): source for Makefile (the latter being generated by configure by substituting autoconf definitions and concatenating with Makefile.top and Makefile.rules)
• net-snmp-config.in: source for net-snmp-config (the latter being generated by configure)
• sedscript.in: source for sedscript (the latter being generated by configure)
