[Opensnmp-users] Building OpenSNMP in FreeBSD

[Javier C. <jca...@ic...>]

Hi,

I just built OpenSNMP under FreeBSD 4.6.2 and encountered some problems. =
 With=20
the modifications listed below I was able to compile, but I have not run =
any=20
of the tests yet. =20

   1. Symbolic links required in /usr/local/lib
        libdb.a -> /usr/local/lib/libdb41.a
        libdb_cxx.a -> /usr/local/lib/libdb41_cxx.a
   2. Symbolic links required in /usr/local/include
        cxx_common.h -> db41/cxx_common.h
        cxx_except.h -> db41/cxx_except.h
        db.h -> db41/db.h
        db_185.h -> db41/db_185.h
        db_cxx.h -> db41/db_cxx.h
   3.  Added #include <sys/types.h> to base/BufferClass.H
   4.  Added #include <sys/types.h> to asn/TransportAddress.C to be the f=
irst
     #include in the file
   5.  Modified /app/cg line 74 from
        ar cr $@ $^      to    ar cr $@ $(LIBOBJS)
     For some reason, even though the target was being built, the $^ macr=
o was
     empty:
        ar cr libcg.a              <------ !!!
        ...
        cgmain.o: In function `main':
        cgmain.o(.text+0xf7): undefined reference to=20
`snmpCGArch::snmpCGArch(void)'


The first two issues are probably related to different installation=20
directories for Berkeley DB in version 4.1.
Issue 3 was puzzling... I don't know how BufferClass.H could ever compile=
=20
without sys/types.h!
4. is probably system dependent, but adding that include would not hurt
and 5... well I really don't understand why that was failing.  If the=20
prerequisite list evaluates to empty, the rule should not execute=20
altogether...right?
Should I file a bug for any of these issues?=20

Anyway, tomorrow I'll try to run the tests described in the INSTALL file.

Cheers!

Javier
