[AGENT++] SNMP++v3.2.3b and Borland - Help needed

[Jochen Katz]

Hi,

first: from where did you get the old version 3.2.3b? The current 
release ist 3.2.10...

well you can still use the consoleExamples as base code and instead the 
command line args you will need some windows that gets this values from 
the user, and instead of printing with cout you will have to create some 
GUI output mechanism.

You can use Qt. The current release already has a simple QtExample.

You have to compile it with bc++ in order to use it. I don't know if the 
command line arguments of bc++ are compatible to g++, but changing g++ 
into bc++ in Makefile.linux could solve all problems.

If you want to use SNMPv3 you will need libdes or libtomcrypt from 
snmp++ download page, if you don't want to use SNMPv3 you will have to 
change config_snmp_pp.h

Just create a new library project for snmp++ and add all .cpp files from 
src direcory to it, add the include path and set the defines you see 
when building snmp++ with Makefile.linux and compile it.

You can simply add the files src/*.cpp and include/*.h to your project 
and compiel it with your code, but I would prefer a project for snmp++ 
and one for your code.
