Re: Proposed Modifications to PHP_SNMP Extension for Consideration

The config.w32 didn't pass through. If you change the extension to .txt, we will be able to receive it. Nuno ----- Original Message -----

Hello Internals List! For some time now, the PHP_SNMP extension for Windows has used the dated and no longer supported (in development) UCD-SNMP libraries. This situation is problematic, as there have been a number of changes and bug fixes to the extension that require the NET-SNMP libraries. I have been able to make the php_snmp.dll in Windows utilizing the NET-SNMP libraries, but had to make changes to the following two files: config.w32 snmp.dsp I have attached the two files as reference. However, there remains a development issue that requires a more skilled programmer to resolve. If I make the package unaltered, I receive the following two compiler errors: ..\php_build\include\net-snmp\library\system.h(77) : error C2371: 'DIR' : redefinition; different basic types

       c:\msvc\php-5.0.4\TSRM\readdir.h(34) : see declaration of 'DIR'
..\php_build\include\net-snmp\library\system.h(80) : error C2371: 'readdir'

: redefinition; different basic types

       c:\msvc\php-5.0.4\TSRM\readdir.h(38) : see declaration of 'readdir'

In order to build the dll file correctly, I edited <net-snmp/library/utilities.h> and commented out "#include <net-snmp/library/system.h>", but that appears to be a hack. I have a bug open in the PHP Bug Database speaking to this issue as follows: #35696 The function "snmp_set_oid_numeric_print" does not exist on the Win32 platform This change will fix multiple annoyances such as the automatic creation of the "c:/usr/snmp/persist" directory by the php_snmp.dll file, and, as stated previously, the lack of important php_snmp functions and bug fixes in Windows.
