Re: Broken mib2c ifTable make?

Thanks again. With Christmas Holidays just around the corner, tutorials not 
working and project deadline on the 10th of January, it is easy to loose 
hope....

1) Unfortunately wiki pages point to these tutorials:
from: http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:mib2c_General_Overview

...of the code (the MFD configuration file is the latest step towards this 
goal - see the MFD tutorial here).

or

General mib2c overview->mib2c.mfd.conf tutorial

Both of them link to the legacy: 
http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-5/toolkit/mfd/ that I used.

Has anybody tried doing it? Does it work or do you get the same undefined 
references as I do?

2) The files, as described in the tutorial, are generated by mib2c using 
just the MIB file. Is mib2c broken? I definitely run it against the 5.4.1 
agent I mentioned. This is from a binary Solaris package which came with the 
distro. I will try downloading and compiling the latest agent. Generated 
files:

defaults
ifTable-README-FIRST.txt
ifTable-README-ifTable.txt
ifTable.c
ifTable.h
ifTable_Makefile
ifTable_data_access.c
ifTable_data_access.h
ifTable_data_get.c
ifTable_data_get.h
ifTable_data_get.o
ifTable_data_set.c
ifTable_data_set.h
ifTable_data_set.o
ifTable_enums.h
ifTable_interface.c
ifTable_interface.h
ifTable_oids.h
ifTable_subagent.c

You need much more patience than that...

Looking further up the tree, http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-5/ 
accurately states, "Note Well: Most of these tutorials have been replaced by 
wiki versions of the same tutorials and most of these pages are now out of 
date by comparison. Please see the wiki Tutorials instead."

I have no idea where those files came from, but I doubt they build against 
the current agent.


HTH,

Mike
