net-snmp5.7.3 porting to the Arm-linux platform

net-snmp5.7.3 porting to the Arm-linux platform

This cross-compilation is performed under Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit systems.

Preparatory work

There are several preparations to complete before compiling the migration.

• 1 Download net-snmp 5.7.3 Source Package
• 2 Installing the Cross-compilation environment (ARM-LINUX-GNUEABI-GCC)
  You can install it using the command sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi .

Compiling the configuration

Unzip the NET-SNMP source package and enter the source package directory

 unzip net-snmp-5.7.3.zip  cd net-snmp-5.7.3/

There are those that can be used to ./configure --help view the configuration options. There is no post, give directly.

Options	Description
–host=arm-linux	Operating Platform
–target=arm-linux	Target platform
–build=i686-linux	Compiling the Platform
–with-cc=arm-linux-gcc	Cross compiler
–with-ar=arm-linux-ar	Program used for packaging
–prefix=/usr/local/net-snmp	installation directory
–disable-shared	Static compilation
–disable-scripts	Do not install scripts such as MIB2C
–with-endianness=little	Specify the small-end mode
-enable-mini-agent	The smallest snmpd
–enable-debugging	Open Debug Information
–with-openssl=/opt/hardhat	OpenSSL Library Path
–disable-ipv6	Do not use IPV6
–disable-manuals	Do not install the Manpage instructions page
–disable-ucd-snmp-compatibility	No compatible UCD-SNMP required
–enable-as-needed	If only the other methods do not work, the link Libperl for the app instead of the NET-SNMP library.
–disable-snmptrapd-subagent	No support for SNMPTRAPD's sub-agents
–disable-embedded-perl	Do not use embedded Perl
–disable-embedded-perl	The SNMP agent and SNMPTRAPD disable embedded Perl. Enabled by default
–disable-applications	Whether to turn off snmpget and other functions, choose according to your own needs

Here is the configuration I used

Configure

./configure --host=arm-linux --target=arm-linux --build=i686-linux  --with-cc=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.9 --with-ar=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-ar-4.9 --prefix=/usr/local/net-snmp --disable-shared --disable-scripts --with-endianness=little -enable-mini-agent --disable-ipv6 --disable-manuals  --disable-ucd-snmp-compatibility --enable-as-needed

When configuring, you can specify an empty directory to use as the installation directory, for example /home/o/123 . Then make you can install it after the success make install . When porting to the arm board, you can pack and copy the directory directly.

Configre successful output of the information

Compile

After the configuration is successful, compile with the make command.
After the compilation succeeds, the following two lines are output.

chmod a+x net-snmp-configtouch net-snmp-config-x

After the compilation is complete, you can go to the agent folder to see if the file is exported snmpd .

[email protected]:~/snmp/net-snmp-5.7.3/agent$ ll snmpd-rwxrwxr-x 1 o o 3029820  9月 16 20:31 snmpd*[email protected]:~/snmp/net-snmp-5.7.3/agent$ file snmpdsnmpd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=735ab05f48664e1af99c639e6519893be9413d2b, not stripped

Compress executable Files

After the compilation is ready to be used directly, but you can also compress to save space. Using arm-linux-gnueabi-strip programs to compress

[email protected]:~/snmp/net-snmp-5.7.3/agent$ arm-linux-gnueabi-strip snmpd[email protected]:~/snmp/net-snmp-5.7.3/agent$ ll snmpd-rwxrwxr-x 1 o o 703836  9月 16 20:51 snmpd*

As you can see, the size of the executable file after compression 3MB has been reduced from near to not 700KB .

Install to target platform

Once the compilation is successful, it can be installed on the target platform. First copy the agent files from the directory snmpd to the target machine.
Then create the configuration file on the target machine snmpd.conf , how to configure, you can refer to the fifth part of Http://www.cnblogs.com/oloroso/p/4595123.html.
Then you can start to try it.

sudo ./snmpd -c snmpd.conf  –f –Le –d

Problems and workarounds not in Perl library

Compile when there is no Perl library problem, this problem is also good to solve, compile one is. But, without this necessity, trouble.

/usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.9/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lperlcollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusMakefile:484: recipe for target ‘libnetsnmpagent.la‘ failedmake[1]: *** [libnetsnmpagent.la] Error 1make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/o/snmp/net-snmp-5.7.3/agent‘Makefile:656: recipe for target ‘subdirs‘ failedmake: *** [subdirs] Error 1

Solutions
In fact, it's very simple, add configure a parameter to the previous configuration --disable-embedded-perl , and then you can do it again make .
