net-snmp compilation issue

[Fefers]

Hello experts, I hope you're doing great :D

I need to compile net-snmp on some HP-UX (PA-RISC and IA64) servers and I had an issue during the compilation.

HP-UX hostname B.11.31 U 9000/800 

net-snmp-5.7.2

The output and log file is attached.

Could someone help me please?

thanks in advance

Hello Fefers--

   I am curious if you have a full version of an ANSI C compiler. Can you show the output of "swlist"?

Hi Rudy..

# swlist |grep -i C-ANSI-C
#

well.. I've found this url:

do you know if it is free?

Hi Fefers--

   OK, so you don't have HP's ANSI C compiler. It is free for HP partners, not for end users.

   You can always try the GNU C compiler. http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gcc-4.2.3/

Rudy,

I've already tried to compile using gcc.

# swlist |grep -i gcc
gcc 4.2.3 gcc
libgcc 4.2.3 libgcc

./configure will avoid this prompt.

in config.log:

You're not going to be able to use the bundled C compiler to build this.  You'll need to use gcc.

You're going to have to look at your files where the errors are:

target/target_counters_5_5 target/snmpTargetAddrEntrycpp: "./agent/mibgroup/target/snmpTargetParamsEntry.h", line 75: error 4029: #endif without matching #if.

ucd-snmp/pass_common hardware/memory hardware/cpu header_complexcpp: "./agent/mibgroup/snmp-notification-mib/snmpNotifyFilterTable/snmpNotifyFilterTable.h", line 32: error 4036: Can't open include file 'snmpNotifyFilterTable_constants.h'.

And a whole bunch more with other .h files.  This could be due to a missing -I?

And before those errors is:

checking for and configuring mib modules to use... default_modules. default_modules snmpv3mibs mibII ucd_snmp notification notification-log-mib target agent_mibs agentx disman/event

I don't see the gcc compile line??  It appears to be using the C compiler to compile C++??

>I've already tried to compile using gcc.

gcc doesn't seem to be in your PATH.

As already pointed out, you must use the right compiler for the build. If it can't find gcc by default, use the environment variable 'CC' to point to the compiler. Use "./configure --help" for instructions.

I assume you have installed net-snmp in the default location? If not, you'll need to pass in the right set of -I and -L to help pick up the required headers and libraries.

It seems that the missing header "snmpNotifyFilterTable_constants.h" has been previously reported on other platforms. You may want to research a little on that to check if a patch or workaround is available. You may even want to reinstall net-snmp afresh and ensure the missing headers are indeed available on the system.
