QUICK INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
1) Run ./configure
|
|
(type "./configure --help" for a quick usage summary.)
|
|
(--prefix=PATH will change the default /usr/local installation path.)
|
|
(see "Compilers and Options" on changing the compiler to use)
|
|
|
|
2) Optionally edit include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h
|
|
(due to prompting done by the configure script, this is very rarely
|
|
necessary.)
|
|
|
|
3) make
|
|
|
|
4) Run the next command as root:
|
|
5) make install
|
|
|
|
6) configure the agent
|
|
(either using 'snmpconf' or by crafting an snmpd.conf file manually.
|
|
The file 'EXAMPLE.conf' may be a suitable starting point)
|
|
|
|
Note: By default, everything will be installed in /usr/local.
|
|
(see below for more instructions)
|
|
|
|
Net-SNMP Specific Information
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
As of UCD-SNMP V3.3.1 the configuration files are now looked for in
|
|
$(prefix)/share/snmp, where ($prefix) is defined as the value passed
|
|
to the --prefix argument of the configure script, or /usr/local if
|
|
undefined. In version 3.0.3 till 3.3, the files were kept in
|
|
$(prefix)/lib/snmp
|
|
|
|
Optional features to pass to configure for Net-SNMP can be obtained by
|
|
running configure --help.
|
|
|
|
LONG (but you should read these) INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
|
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
|
|
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
|
|
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
|
|
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
|
|
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
|
|
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
|
|
reconfiguring, a file `config.log' containing compiler output
|
|
(useful mainly for debugging `configure') and a file `configure-summary'
|
|
containing the summary displayed at the end of the `configure' run.
|
|
|
|
The file `include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h' is also generated
|
|
at this time. It contains IMPORTANT information such as the location
|
|
of log and configuration files. In some special cases you may need to
|
|
modify this file but it is prefererable to work out a way of getting
|
|
`configure' to set things up for your particular environment.
|
|
|
|
As the `configure' invocation often gets lengthy and difficult to
|
|
type or if you have several different ways you want to configure a
|
|
system, you may want to create a shell script containing your invocation.
|
|
|
|
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
|
|
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
|
|
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
|
|
be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'
|
|
contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
|
|
|
|
The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
|
|
called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
|
|
it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
|
|
|
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
|
|
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
|
|
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
|
|
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
|
|
`configure' itself.
|
|
|
|
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
|
|
messages telling which features it is checking for. When it
|
|
completes it prints a short message (also available in configure-summary)
|
|
indicating what functionality will be available when compiled.
|
|
|
|
2. If necessary, edit include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h (see above).
|
|
|
|
3. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
|
|
|
4. Type `make test' which runs a variety of tests to see what functionality
|
|
has been incorporated and if it works.
|
|
|
|
5. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
6. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
|
|
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
|
|
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
|
|
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.
|
|
|
|
7. You can remove the application (but not the perl or python modules)
|
|
by typing `make uninstall'.
|
|
|
|
There may be additional installation issues discussed in the
|
|
README's for various platforms such as README.solaris.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing the Perl/SNMP Module
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
The Perl/SNMP Module is now bundled with the net-snmp package
|
|
(which includes other Net-SNMP specific modules as well), all of which
|
|
are located in the net-snmp/perl directory. The Perl package provides
|
|
a high level abstract interface to the functionality found in the
|
|
Net-SNMP libraries and demon applications.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended you install the perl modules as you build the
|
|
Net-SNMP package. The configure script can be run as follows to
|
|
automatically find perl and use it to install the perl modules:
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-perl-modules
|
|
|
|
If you wish to use the embedded perl support available in the
|
|
Net-SNMP agent (and starting in Net-SNMP 5.2, the trap receiver),
|
|
then use the following option instead:
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-embedded-perl --enable-shared
|
|
|
|
Starting with Net-SNMP 5.4, configure enables embedded Perl and the
|
|
Perl modules by default when possible unless explicitly disabled.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to build the perl modules by hand, *install Net-SNMP
|
|
first* and then change directories to the perl subdirectory and:
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
cd perl
|
|
perl Makefile.PL
|
|
make
|
|
make test
|
|
make install (as root)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compilers and Options
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
|
|
the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
|
|
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
|
|
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
|
|
this:
|
|
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
|
|
|
|
Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
|
|
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
|
|
|
|
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
|
|
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
|
|
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
|
|
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
|
|
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
|
|
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
|
|
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
|
|
|
|
If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
|
|
variable, there is a `maketarget' script that will generate a symlink'ed
|
|
shadow-directory for the object files. Do a `sh maketarget', then `cd' into
|
|
targets/`config.guess` and do the configuration and installation.
|
|
|
|
Installation Names
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
|
|
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
|
|
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
|
|
option `--prefix=PATH'.
|
|
|
|
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
|
|
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
|
|
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
|
|
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
|
|
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
|
|
|
|
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
|
|
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
|
|
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
|
|
|
|
Optional Features
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
|
|
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
|
|
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
|
|
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
|
|
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
|
|
package recognizes.
|
|
|
|
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
|
|
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
|
|
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
|
|
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
|
|
|
|
Specifying the System Type
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
|
|
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
|
|
will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
|
|
a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
|
|
`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
|
|
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
|
|
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
|
|
|
|
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
|
|
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
|
|
need to know the host type.
|
|
|
|
If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
|
|
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
|
|
produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
|
|
system on which you are compiling the package.
|
|
|
|
Sharing Defaults
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
|
|
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
|
|
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
|
|
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
|
|
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
|
|
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
|
|
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
|
|
|
|
Operation Controls
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
|
|
operates.
|
|
|
|
`--cache-file=FILE'
|
|
Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
|
|
`./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
|
|
debugging `configure'.
|
|
|
|
`--help'
|
|
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
|
|
|
|
`--quiet'
|
|
`--silent'
|
|
`-q'
|
|
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
|
|
|
|
`--srcdir=DIR'
|
|
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
|
|
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.
|
|
|
|
`--version'
|
|
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
|
|
script, and exit.
|
|
|
|
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
|
|
