MFD: Running mib2c
Running mib2c: Generating the template code
The first step is to generate the code. First, create a new directory
for the code. For this tutorial, e will assume you have a directory
named ifTable. You have two options to generate the
code. One is mib2c, and the other is mib2c-update.
If you are simply walking through the the tutorial as a learning
experience, run mib2c directly. If you are just using the
tutorial as a guide for generating your own code, I recommend
using the mib2c-update script, so you can take advantage
enhancements or bug-fixes in future releases. See the
mib2c-update page for
more details.
For the tutorial, we will use mib2c directly.

$ mib2c -c mfd-makefile.m2m ifTable
writing to ifTable_Makefile
/usr/share/snmp/mib2c-data/mfd-makefile.m2m:120 contained a line that started with a @ but did not match any mib2c configuration tokens.
(maybe missing the trailing @?)

When mib2c finishes, you should have several files. Here is a
list, with links to the complete source for this tutorial:
ifTable-README-FIRST.txt contains a basic overview of MFD,
similar to this tutorial. The basic steps outlined in
ifTable-README-ifTable.txt were used to write this tutorial.
Another new idea introduced with the MFD configuration files is user
settable variables to influence the code which is generated. The file
default-table-ifTable.m2d contains some of the values
used when mib2 was run. (
Note: this file is only generated if it does not already exist.
It is not updated during subsequent runs of mib2c.
) For this simple example, we are going to use all the defaults. In
later tutorials, we'll look more closely at these mib2c variables.
