Some notes for the Tru64 Unix 5.x port
======================================
1. Compiling
------------
The following procedure has been proven to successfully compile net-snmp
version 5.2.2 and later on Tru64 Unix 5.1B (Alpha EV5.6) using the Compaq C 6.5
compiler:
./configure --disable-embedded-perl
make
su -
make install
A recent GNU C compiler (gcc) will probably work, too.
Please note that the "host" module doesn't compile on Tru64, so you *cannot*
run configure with "--with-mib-modules=host".
2. Embedded Perl
----------------
The Perl package (5.00503) shipped with Tru64 Unix 5.1 isn't complete enough
to allow to build net-snmp with embedded Perl support. If you need embedded
Perl support, do your own Perl installation first.
3. IPv6
-------
Starting with net-snmp 5.4 you can enable the UDPIPv6 and TCPIPv6 transports
on Tru64 Unix 5.1. There's no support for the IPv6 MIBs, though, so you'll
have to configure like this:
./configure --enable-ipv6 --with-out-mib-modules="mibII/ipv6"
4. Testing
----------
"make test" reports a number of problems on Tru64 Unix. It is yet to be checked
whether these are problems in the test scripts or the toolkit.
5. Feedback
-----------
Please also see README and PORTING.
If you have questions, additional insights or (even better) patches regarding
net-snmp on Tru64 Unix, please refer to the net-snmp mailing lists (see
http://www.net-snmp.org/lists).
