I'm new to SNMP but I want to use it to configure a wifi AP based on info given by a user. My issue is that I can't seem to properly install Net-SNMP on my Visual Studio project.

I've searched a lot but couldn't find a solution that works for me.

So far I've installed Net-SNMP 5.8 on my machine from the source-forge installer. I have an snmp folder in C:usr and in C:Program Filesnet-snmp-5.8. From the command prompt I can use SET / GET commands so that's working. I'm now trying to have Net-SNMP on Visual Studio so I can use commands from a script in my C++ project.

This is a simple script I found and modified to test Net-SNMP on VS.

#include <net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h> 

#include <net-snmp/net-snmp-includes.h>

#include <string.h>



std::string oiids = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.30429.1.3.2.1.0";

    struct snmp_session session, *ss;

    struct snmp_pdu *pdu;

    struct snmp_pdu *response;

    oid anOID[MAX_OID_LEN];

    size_t anOID_len = MAX_OID_LEN;

    // netsnmp_variable_list *vars;

    int status;

    init_snmp("APC Check");

    snmp_sess_init(&session);

    ss = snmp_open(&session);

    session.peername = "192.168.1.253";

    session.community = (u_char *) "private";

    session.community_len = strlen("private");

    session.version = SNMP_VERSION_2c;

    ss = snmp_open(&session);

    pdu = snmp_pdu_create(SNMP_MSG_GET);

    read_objid(oiids.c_str(), anOID, &anOID_len);

    snmp_add_null_var(pdu, anOID, anOID_len);

    status = snmp_synch_response(ss, pdu, &response);

    for (variable_list * vars = response->variables; vars; vars = vars->next_variable)

        print_variable(vars->name, vars->name_length, vars);

    if (response)

        snmp_free_pdu(response);

    snmp_close(ss); 

I tried to add all the .h files to my project but now I'm getting missing functions because I don't think I have all the C source code. I'm ready to uninstall everything and start from scratch if someone has a solution.

Thanks for any help!

Note:

This is for a project I'm working on with different people using git. Would they all have to install Net-SNMP on their computer or is there a way to have all the necessary files in the project?
