./configure --help
`configure' configures Net-SNMP 5.6 to adapt to many kinds of systems.
Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...
To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.
Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.
Configuration:
-h, --help display this help and exit
--help=short display options specific to this package
--help=recursive display the short help of all the included packages
-V, --version display version information and exit
-q, --quiet, --silent do not print `checking...' messages
--cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled]
-C, --config-cache alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
-n, --no-create do not create output files
--srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']
Installation directories:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local]
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[PREFIX]
By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
For better control, use the options below.
Fine tuning of the installation directories:
--bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
--sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
--sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com]
--localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
--libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
--includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include]
--oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
--datarootdir=DIR read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share]
--datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR]
--infodir=DIR info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info]
--localedir=DIR locale-dependent data [DATAROOTDIR/locale]
--mandir=DIR man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man]
--docdir=DIR documentation root [DATAROOTDIR/doc/net-snmp]
--htmldir=DIR html documentation [DOCDIR]
--dvidir=DIR dvi documentation [DOCDIR]
--pdfdir=DIR pdf documentation [DOCDIR]
--psdir=DIR ps documentation [DOCDIR]
System types:
--build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
--host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
--target=TARGET configure for building compilers for TARGET [HOST]
Optional Features:
--disable-option-checking ignore unrecognized --enable/--with options
--disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no)
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
--disable-as-needed Link libperl against applications rather
than Net-SNMP libraries. Use only if the other
way doesn't work.
--enable-silent-libtool Pass --silent to libtool.
--disable-agent Do not build the agent (snmpd).
--disable-applications Do not build the apps (snmpget, ...).
--disable-manuals Do not install the manuals.
--disable-scripts Do not install the scripts (mib2c, ...).
--disable-mibs Do not install the mib files.
--enable-mib-config-checking Turns on extra checks during configuration
of mib modules. Any conflicts will cause
configure to abort (default is to issue a
warning and continue.)
--enable-mib-config-debug Turns on verbose output during mib module
configure processing.
--enable-new-features Compile in new MIB modules and other experimental
features which are due to be included in future
releases.
--enable-old-features Compile in old MIB modules and other deprecated
features which were replaced in the default build of
this release.
--enable-ucd-snmp-compatibility Install ucd-snmp look-alike headers and libs.
--disable-mib-loading Do not include code that parses and
manipulates the mib files.
--disable-des Do not support DES encryption.
--disable-privacy Don't compile in support for privacy (encryption).
--disable-md5 Do not support MD5 authentication.
--enable-internal-md5 Use the internal MD5 support.
--enable-ipv6 Generate IPv6 ready version.
--disable-snmpv1 Do not include code that implements SNMPv1.
--disable-snmpv2c Do not include code that implements SNMPv2c.
--enable-debugging Outputs extra debugging information at all
times. Normally, you should not enable this,
but instead use the -D flag of the commands,
which toggles debuging output at runtime.
--disable-debugging Disallows debugging code to be built in.
This might provide some speed benefits.
--enable-developer Turns on super-duper-extra-compile-warnings
when using gcc.
--enable-testing-code Enables some code sections that should
only be used for testing of certain
SNMP functionalities. This should *not*
be turned on for production use. Ever.
--enable-reentrant Enables locking functions that protect
library resources in some multi-threading
environments. This does not guarantee
thread-safe operation.
Currently an experimental setting.
--disable-deprecated Don't compile in deprecated functions.
--disable-set-support Do not allow SNMP set requests.
--enable-local-smux Restrict SMUX connections to localhost (by default).
--enable-agentx-dom-sock-only Disable UDP/TCP transports for agentx.
--disable-snmptrapd-subagent Disable agentx subagent code in snmptrapd.
--enable-mini-agent Build a minimal agent.
--enable-mfd-rewrites Use new MFD rewrites of mib modules,
where available. (default is to use
original mib module code).
--disable-embedded-perl Disable embedded Perl in the SNMP agent and
snmptrapd. enabled by default
--disable-perl-cc-checks Disable configure checks for whether Perl's
C Compiler is compatible with ours when
embedded Perl is enabled.

--with-features-of=version
Compile in MIB modules and other features as if this
was release "version" (default is 5.6).
Miscellaneous:
--with-defaults Use defaults for prompted values.

(Default: none. uses IDs above instead.)
--without-opaque-special-types Don't use special opaque encodings.
SNMP normally cannot handle
floating numbers, nor large 64 bit

Optional modules for C coders to look at and/or include as extension examples:
examples/ucdDemoPublic SNMPv3 interoperability testing mib.
examples/example example C code extension.
Enterprise OIDs: (warning: this should be used with caution.)
--with-enterprise-oid The enterprise number assigned to the
vendor by IANA. See
to get one, though using the default is
probably the right choice is most cases.
(default 8072 = "enterprise.net-snmp")

of the net-snmp toolkit. If ARGS is
specified, they're passed to the
Makefile.PL script.
Python:
--with-python-modules=ARGS Install the python bindings along with the
rest of the net-snmp toolkit. If ARGS is
specified, they're passed to the
setup.py script as arguments.
Network Buffers:
--with-server-send-buf=ARG Use ARG for the default UDP/TCP send buffer instead
of the OS buffer for server sockets that are
created (snmpd, snmptrapd).
This default can be overridden in the runtime
configuration files.

--with-pic try to use only PIC/non-PIC objects [default=use
both]
--with-gnu-ld assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command
CFLAGS C compiler flags
LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L if you have libraries in a
nonstandard directory
LIBS libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l
CPPFLAGS C/C++/Objective C preprocessor flags, e.g. -I if
you have headers in a nonstandard directory
CPP C preprocessor
Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
