Re: Cannot build perl snmp module on Windows 10

hi Bart

I have just built Net-SNMP using MinGW with MSyS environment using the
following configure options:
BASEDIR=c:/usr
./configure --prefix="$BASEDIR" \
  --with-mibdirs="$BASEDIR/share/snmp/mibs" \
 --with-mib-modules="agentx disman/event-mib winExtDLL examples/example"\
        --disable-embedded-perl --without-perl-modules \
 2>&1 | tee configure_1july19.log

After make install completes I get the following folders in c:\usr:
[image: image.png]
The bin folder contains mib2c and mib2c-update files but no mib2c
executable or batch file?

Many thanks for your help !

Cathal
