Some notes for the Tru64 Unix 5.x port

======================================

1. Compiling
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
------------
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
The following procedure has been proven to successfully compile net-snmp
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
version 5.2.2 and later on Tru64 Unix 5.1B (Alpha EV5.6) using the Compaq C 6.5
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
compiler:
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
./configure --disable-embedded-perl
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
make
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
su -
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
make install
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
A recent GNU C compiler (gcc) will probably work, too.
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
Please note that the "host" module doesn't compile on Tru64, so you *cannot*
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
run configure with "--with-mib-modules=host".

2. Embedded Perl
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
----------------
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
The Perl package (5.00503) shipped with Tru64 Unix 5.1 isn't complete enough
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
to allow to build net-snmp with embedded Perl support. If you need embedded
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
Perl support, do your own Perl installation first.
|

|

3. IPv6
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
-------
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
Starting with net-snmp 5.4 you can enable the UDPIPv6 and TCPIPv6 transports
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
on Tru64 Unix 5.1:
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
./configure --enable-ipv6
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
There's no support for the IPv6 MIBs, though.
|

4. Known problems
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
-----------------
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
"make test" is known to report the following failure:
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
59: testing full snmpwalk (SNMPv2c) against agent (may take time)... FAIL
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
so it's obvious that there are still problems with some MIB modules on Tru64.
|
|
Packit |
fcad23 |
If you have ideas how to fix them, please let us know!
