I have an application that acts as a subagent under Linux
on a platform where Net-SNMP is installed from source.
I have created an RPM to install the application, and since
Net-SNMP was installed from source rather than from an
RPM, the netsnmpagent, netsnmp, and netsnmpmibs shared
libraries, which are dependants, are not known to the
RPM database. As a result, I have considered performing
static linking of these libraries.
When building my application against the static builds
of Net-SNMP, there are a number of perl module methods
which are not available. As a result, I have added
perl.so to my project's library path, although it is
not on the platforms library path.
I have built Net-SNMP using the default settings, which
includes embedded perl. I have also built Net-SNMP
using the "--disable_embedded_perl" in an attempt to
not require that my project includes the perl shared
library. For this configuration, my application fails
to connect via AgentX to the SNMP agent.
It would appear that building Net-SNMP w/o perl is
problematic, or clearly I do not fully understand
the role Perl has with Net-SNMP.
Perhaps someone can comment on my goals of static library
linking in combination with Net-SNMP build options,
with and without perl, and what I will loose in terms
of features if Net-SNMP is built without embedded perl.
Is this a bad way to go for Net-SNMP, i.e. are these some
unintended consequences.
