LIBSMI NOTES FOR NATIVE WIN32 SUPPORT ===================================== @(#) $Id: README.win 8079 2008-04-17 18:12:48Z schoenw $ This directory contains some help to compile the libsmi and associated tools on a Win32 platform (Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT) with the native Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. The makefile has been tested with VC++ 6.0, but later versions should work very well too. An alternative GNUmakefile can be used with GNU make program. You will need the GNU make "gmake.exe" for Win32 platform. There is a separate file README.mingw which explains how the libsmi package can be compiled on Win32 platforms using the mingw version of gcc. Installation ============ (1) Set MSVC version used in ./config.nmake. Check the compiler path macro TOOLS32 in ./config.nmake for the specific msvc installation. (2) To compile simply run nmake (3) and to install a nmake install should do what you expect. The default path's are c:\smi\mibs\... for the MIB-files and c:\smi\bin for the tools (smidump.exe, ...). The global configuration file is expected to be in c:\smi\smi.conf. Alternative build with GNU make =============================== GNU make uses GNUmakefile provided in this directory. (1) Make sure the compiler (cl.exe) is in PATH (2) To build simply run: gmake If you grabbed the CVS version and some files seems to be missing: ================================================================== You may generate these files on another platform (Linux seems to work fine) by running: cd libsmi ## the sources from the CVS archive ./autogen.sh ## generates configure script an runs it cd lib make errormacros.h parser-smi.c parser-sming.c \ scanner-smi.c scanner-sming.c smi.h cd ../tools make dump-svg-script.h COMMENTS: ========= - The 64 bit integer types (unsigned and signed) are simply replaced by their 64bit _int64 msvc counterparts. They work ok. see related definitions ./config.h - The compiler path in ./config.nmake is hardwired (TOOLS32) - The installation directories are hardwired in config.h.in - Scanner and parser C files, errormacros.h and smi.h have been created within a Unix environment and integrated with the distribution. If you want to re-build them on a windows system you can use cygwin. - The default SMIPATH separator character is the Windows style `;' and not the Unix style `:'. It can be changed using the --with-pathseparator=C configure option.
