Ok, my company would like me to start discussing how to incorporate NetSNMP into the company's build environment. I explained the following stuff:

- Indicated "./configure", "make" and "make install" were required for NetSNMP
- Indicated "snmp.conf" and "snmpd.conf" files exist to define stuff
- Indicated certain environment variables could be used if desired
- Indicated other stuff as well.... as much as I came across so far.... :>P

During this discussion, the "build-production" people at my company informed me we can not perform the "configure" command as part of our "build process". Instead it would be necessary to understand exactly what the "configure" command (and I guess the "make" and "make install" commands as well) do "behind the scenes" so our build process and perform these exact steps ourselves. I was told we do not want to execute a script file with all of the required commands and options in it as well.

Anyway, is this a common approach to integrating NetSNMP into a business application (ie: not using the standard setup commands/options as part of the command line or in a script file)? It scares me not to use the standard steps to get NetSNMP configured/running. Perhaps someone can explain to me whether this is weird or not. If so, then perhaps you can give me a quick overview as to how NetSNMP should "normally" be integrated in a build system.

I understand no one knows how our build system works (neither do I), but any input into this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Is it crazy to think we can perform everything that "./configure", "make" and "make install" does oursleves without using those commands? Perhaps we do not need many of the things these commands do to set up NetSNMP?

I obviously had no answers for my company on this issue, so I am asking for help from people who have gone through this before.
