I believe I now have working configuration and makefiles for the libdes 
and SNMP++ libraries on Mac OSX.  Agent++ is still bombing out on me with 
the errors discussed earlier.
Should / could patch files be submitted to this mailing list?  I would 
like to return the changes to the list for review and potential sharing if 
the powers-that-be offer their blessing.

- IMO, Minimal changes to code:
        - 1 line in des.h
        - 1 line in asn1.h
        - 1 line change and 6 lines added in config_snmp_pp.h
- Directories built are:
        - libdes
        - snmp++
        - snmp++/src
        - snmp++/consoleExamples
- SNMP++ static and dynamic library (*.dylib) are built.

I have tested snmpGet very, very briefly on the command line using:

$> ./snmpGet <ip> -C<community>

I am not very awesome with raw makefiles, so all of my build modifications 
are in the form of 'autogen.sh' + 'configure.ac' + 'Makefile.am'.  I tried 
to get it to build starting from your 'Makefile.platform' style, but it 
seemed to always build *.so libraries instead of *.dylib and then complain 
that the architecture was wrong when trying to link. Some of my build 
behavior is a little different than what was dictated by your makefiles. I 
think most of the odd behavior could be cleaned up with a little research 
and practice on my part.

- Automake replaces the '+' sign with '_' creating unanticipated errors, 
so the '+' signs have been truncated. The library is named 'libsnmp' 
instead of 'libsnmp++'.
- Makefiles will put the completed snmp++ library in snmp++/src/.lib 
directory, instead of the desired snmp++/lib directory. This is sort of 
annoying because '.lib' directory will not display in Finder.

Additional build notes:

- Configure tests for the functions:
        - gethostbyaddr_r
        - gethostbyname_r
        - localtime_r
        - crypt
- Configure displays the warnings about missing these functions.
- SNMP_PP_NAMESPACE is set
- _NO_THREADS is not defined
- The Mac in use for all of this has an intel processor.

Would this mailing list have an interest in receiving patch files and 
build files for this set of changes?  If so, I will post these 
modifications here.  These would be my first cut of makefiles which seem 
to build the two libraries on the Mac, but as I said earlier, I have only 
done a very simple test of execution.  Thank you for reading and 
considering.
