Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] [PATCH] Make Net-SNMP Optional for VC++ Build

Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.

From: Noah Misch <noah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2004 23:22:30 -0700
This patch makes Net-SNMP optional under the VC++ build process in much the same
way that zlib and ADNS are already optional.

Why bother?  The Net-SNMP binary distribution comes in the form of a static
library with dynamic C runtime linkage (MSVCRT).  To link it to ethereal,
ethereal must also use MSVCRT.  I cannot do this easily because I am building
with the Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit, the no-cost distribution of the Microsoft
compilers.  That package does not include MSVCRT.lib, and my attempts at
generating one did not result in complete success.  Notably, the other ethereal
dependencies all ship as DLLs, and as such do not create this problem.
