Net-SNMP Windows .lib Linking

I have downloaded net-snmp v5.7.3 onto a fresh OS (Windows 8) running Visual Studios 2010 with service pack 1 installed.

I am unable to create the following simple snmp project on the net-snmp website due to the inability to link to anything from their libraries.

They resulting build errors are as follows:

The build procedures I have followed are: (Active Perl x86 installed already)

1. Open a cmd prompt with admin rights.


2. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat


3. C:\net-snmp-5.7.3\win32\build.bat


4. I enabled 'Install Development Files' and started the build.


5. I created an empty project in VS and added the snmp code linked above.


6. I added the include folder from the built PATH to the projects additional include directory.


7. I added the lib folder from the built PATH to the projects additional library directories.


8. I added netsnmp.lib to the additional library dependencies.

Additionally I have tried the above with x64 versions and had very similar, if not the same, build errors (I did not record them).

I also have tried updating the win32.dsw (from the win32 directory) to a VS2010 version and rebuilding the netsnmp.lib library before running build.bat. This did not change the build errors at all.

Side note: I also made a few quick fixes in net-snmp-config.h.

• I included stdint.h because compiler was complaining I didn't have uint64_t.


• I defined HAVE_SOCKLEN_T because compiler complained about a redefinition of socklen_t.


• I added typedef int mode_t; because the compiler didn't like the import int mkdirhier(const char *pathname, mode_t mode, int skiplast).

I am sure I've overlooked something simple (maybe a required change to the config file), or am unaware of some correct procedure. So please, any advice will be considered helpful, no matter how small. I have limited knowledge with visual studios and snmp as I am only an engineering student currently working for a company under Co-op.
