Have a look at the RPM spec file, that can be found in the 'dist'
directory of the source tree.
This can be used to create a binary package, that can then be
installed on the target system.

The command would be something like:
      rpmbuild -ba net-snmp.spec

(That's assuming you are using a Linux distribution that uses RPM packages.
 You don't actually say *which* Linux you're working with)

You could either include your application as an extra element within the
Net-SNMP spec file.  Or (better) craft another RPM spec file, specifically
for your application, that depends on the Net-SNMP package.

But do you need to compile the Net-SNMP software at all?
Most Linux distributions already come with Net-SNMP anyway
(which should include a development package).
   Check the packages that are currently available - you may find that
you're trying to re-invent the wheel.
