Some notes for the Tru64 Unix 5.x port
======================================

1. Compiling
------------

The following procedure has been proven to successfully compile net-snmp 
version 5.2.2 and later on Tru64 Unix 5.1B (Alpha EV5.6) using the Compaq C 6.5 
compiler:

	./configure --disable-embedded-perl
	make
	su -
	make install

A recent GNU C compiler (gcc) will probably work, too.

Please note that the "host" module doesn't compile on Tru64, so you *cannot*
run configure with "--with-mib-modules=host".

2. Embedded Perl
----------------

The Perl package (5.00503) shipped with Tru64 Unix 5.1 isn't complete enough
to allow to build net-snmp with embedded Perl support. If you need embedded
Perl support, do your own Perl installation first.

3. IPv6
-------

Starting with net-snmp 5.4 you can enable the UDPIPv6 and TCPIPv6 transports
on Tru64 Unix 5.1:

   ./configure --enable-ipv6

There's no support for the IPv6 MIBs, though.


4. Testing
----------

"make test" reports a number of problems on Tru64 Unix. It is yet to be checked
whether these are problems in the test scripts or the toolkit.


5. Feedback
-----------

Please also see README and PORTING.

If you have questions, additional insights or (even better) patches regarding
net-snmp on Tru64 Unix, please refer to the net-snmp mailing lists (see 
http://www.net-snmp.org/lists).
