#2252 Support for lmsensors 3.3.0

[Cedric]

I build net-snmp 5.7pre1 in a chroot jail (gcc 4.5.2/libc 2.13/binutils
2.21/make 3.82).

The current 5.7pre.1 lmsensors agent (agent/mibgroup/ucd-snmp/lmSensors.c) does not support the new lmsensors 3.3.0 API.

(ucd-snmp/lmSensors.c:943: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token , etc.)

A little patch is enough to support that new API, cf joined patch.

The patch has not yet been tested, i'll test it soon.

Patch for lmsensors 3.3.0 support

You should try out the new implementation, ucd-snmp/lmsensorsMib. which supports both lmsensors v2 and v3

Right, lmsensorsMib build successfully on my platform. All tests are successful, i just have to do a prior "make snmpusm" (the initial "make" did not build it, even if configure mentions it : SNMPv3 Security Modules: usm ksm tsm).

I guess that net-snmp keep the ucd-snmp/lmSensors 'old' agent for compatibility reason ?

I suggest to warn at configure time when this agent is required :

   \# does the header file for the module exist?
