Summary: Compiling Perl modules for Windows / Win32

Initial Comment:
This patch allows you to compile the Perl modules using 
MSVC++ on Windows NT with 5.0.8.  

The following files have been patched:

perl\ASN\Makefile.PL
perl\OID\Makefile.PL
perl\SNMP\Makefile.PL
perl\Agent\default_store\Makefile.PL
perl\Agent\Makefile.PL
perl\default_store\Makefile.PL
include\net-snmp\library\system.h
perl\snmp\snmp.xs
perl\SNMP\README

make test for OID does not pass, but it does compile.

The README file has been updated for compiling using 
MSVC and Cygwin.

cd net-snmp-5.0.8

I've compiled it under ActivePerl 5.8.0 and v1 and v2c works 
ok, but v3 causes crash during calling 
new SNMP::Session(...) with message:

Free to wrong pool 1622770 not 80102 at 
blib\arch\..\..\blib\lib/SNMP.pm line 464.

I've investigated a little problem and workaround it by 
commenting out in perl/SNMP.xs line 
2671:   free (session.contextEngineID);

It removes that problem. Of course it's not good way to deal 
with, but maybe it'll help you track reason (for example 
second free on the same memory). Or the problem is within 
ActivePerl implementation of Perl.

Maybe anyone solved it already?

Thanks for the patch!  I've applied it to the main line cvs as 
well as the patches branch for a 5.0.9 release.

This version of the patch will allow you to run perl Makefile.PL 
from inside one of the sub directories such as default_store 
and SNMP.  It will allow you to install only the modules you 
want instead of everything.

Uploaded patch-win32-perl4 and patch-win32-perl4.win.

This fixes a minor problem that prevented the Perl modules 
from compiling under Unix due to a mistake in the patch.

Did you compile libsnmp, libsnmp_dll or both?

I have only tested so far with libsnmp (release).

I got the netsnmpmibs.lib compiled together with the rest of 
the library, but I still get the same error when building the  
default store directory.

I am using activestate's perl 5.8.0 Build 802.

'netsnmpmibs' is not the same library as 'libsnmp'.  You 
probably didn't compile snmpmibs in VC++, or didn't copy the 
compiled .lib file to c:\temp\lib.

The agent module requires that libsnmp, libagent, libhelpers 
and netsnmpmibs be compiled first.  The other modules only 
look for libsnmp.

I have succesfully patch net-snmp-5.0.8 and created the 
Makefile, but encounter error when doing nmake in MSVC :

I compiled the net-snmp-5.0.8 library successfully before 
doing this :

D:\Temp\net-snmp-5.0.8\perl>perl Makefile.PL 
CAPI=TRUE -NET-SNMP-PATH=D:\TEMP\
t-snmp-5.0.8

Message:
...
Note (probably harmless): No library found for '-
lnetsnmpmibs'
...

I think this is because the name of the library was libsnmp.lib 
instead of libnetsnmpmibs.

After I change the name of the library, the error message 
was gone, but when I do a nmake, I got an error :
...
default_store.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external 
symbol _netsnmp_ds_get_void
default_store.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external 
symbol _netsnmp_ds_set_void
default_store.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external 
symbol _netsnmp_ds_shutdown

Thanks for adding the comment!

The latest patch 'patch-win32-perl3' / 'patch-win32-perl.win' 
fixes the problem when using Perl 5.8.0.

The new patch seems to work just fine. I have finally 
managed to compile the perl module using perl 5.6.1 and 
MSVC7! Thanks!!

The only strange behaviour I got is during "nmake test", when 
I got a runtime error in perl.exe. Ignoring this and nmake 
install worked just fine.

Using perl 5.8.0 I get the following error (which might be 
caused by something outside the patch) when running 
perl Makefile.PL CAPI=TRUE -NET-SNMP-IN-
SOURCE=TRUE 

ERROR from evaluation of C:\net-snmp-5.0.8
\perl\agent/Makefile.PL: ERROR from evaluation of C:\net-
snmp-5.0.8\perl\agent\default_store/Makefile.PL: Bizarre copy
 of ARRAY in sassign at C:/Perl/lib/Carp/Heavy.pm line 45.
