Your mileage may vary. +If this doesn't work for you, or you have fixes for any problems listed, +please post to <net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net>. Thanks! + + - ALL + + - Test 44 (Perl AgentX Subagent) fails. + + - configure with --enable-as-needed for proper libperl linking + + - nlist doesn't support icmpstat + + - disable the icmp module during configure by specifying + "--with-out-mib-modules=mibII/icmp", or at startup by adding + "-I -icmp" to the snmpd command line. + + + - 10.4.7 (Universal) and Leopard with 5.4 sources: + [Supplied by Chris Jalbert, slightly updated] + + - build using gcc 4.0 (see below) and configure using: + --with-persistent-directory=/var/db/net-snmp \ + --with-defaults \ + --without-rpm \ + --with-mib-modules="host ucd-snmp/diskio" \ + --with-out-mib-modules="mibII/icmp host/hr_swrun" \ + --enable-as-needed \ + --without-kmem-usage + + The first line sets up persistent storage in the OS X standard location. + + The third line is necessary because RPM is not properly disabled. + + The fourth line includes those modules appear to build properly and + mostly work. The next line is necessary because those sub-modules + do not build. + + The final line is necessary because /dev/kmem was removed in + the Intel / Universal builds of the OS, and I believe the APIs will + be removed in Leopard. + This line is the most critical for proper building on OS X. + + + - 10.3.x and earlier + + - Some older versions of Apple's cpp doesn't like configure. + + - run 'gcc_select' to see what version you are using, and + 'gcc_select -l' to list available versions.

(Note: this was + on Panther, 10.3.2) + + - Some older versions of net-snmp as installed by Apple contains + bad flags in net-snmp-config. + + - build your own version, and install over Apple's version. The + configure flags you need for the same configuration: + + configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man + --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-libwrap --with-defaults + --prefix=/usr --with-persistent-directory=/var/db/ucd-snmp + --with-mib-modules=host + +------------------------------------- + +With Mac OS X 10.5.2, and Net-SNMP 5.4.2, the default configuration +seems to build and run successfully. The main tweak needed to get +things working was to disable "embedded perl" (which is active by +default in 5.4 and above). + + The issue here is that enabling embedded perl will try to use the +same CFLAGS used for compiling perl, when compiling the Net-SNMP code +(which is probably reasonable). Unfortunately, the default perl binary +that comes with Mac OS/X 10.5 (at least) is a "universal binary", +so the CFLAGS that it uses include "-arch i386 -arch ppc". This +dual-architecture option confuses the configure script, and means +that it cannot detect the characteristics of the host system correctly. + +Dave +June 2008 |
