I do not need to install the master agent and subagents onto the SUN I'm
using for compilation.
I produce a master agent and some subagents, that are standard for my
company (FERMA). But project workers will customize our products later
on, for clients, and they are going to produce additional subagents.
The main line is that I deliver a unix package (pkgadd command), for
already created agents, and the ucd-snmp directory that allows
additionnal subagents to be created by project workers.



???

What are the things done during 'make install' that need *.lai and *.la
and *.a to install the binary ?

???

I need to make my own install.


Thanks very much again for all.
