This document describes the following files:

net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.8_sun4d.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.6_sun4m.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.7_sun4m.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.8_sun4m.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.6_sun4u.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.7_sun4u.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.8_sun4u.tar.gz

These binaries are created from version 5.0.8 source.  

Because of a variety of idiosyncracies related to SPARC memory
management between the SPARC, SuperSPARC and UltraSPARC chipset
as well as kstat issues between various versions of the Solaris operating 
system and the limitations of the number of platforms available for
me to compile on, I have settled upon five versions.  Each was compiled
using gcc and whichever version of ld, as, ar I was able to get working
on the platform used.  In each case, openssl support was compiled in
from the 0.9.6g source.

Perl support was NOT compiled in due to compatability issues addressed
in the README.solaris document.  There are other limitations discussed
in README.solaris and FAQ.solaris.binaries

The compile string used for each version was...

./configure --with-sys-location="Unknown" --disable-developer \
--with-sys-contact="System Administrator" \
--with-mib-modules="host disman/event-mib ucd-snmp/diskio smux agentx mibII/mta_sendmail" --with-cc=gcc

Binaires are provided for three hardware platforms - sun4d, sun4m, sun4u.

To determine your platform, type uname -a or look at the chart here:

The sun4d binary - net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.8_sun4d.tar.gz

The sun4d platform consists of the SPARCserver 1000 and 2000.  The binary provided here was 
compiled on a SPARCserver 1000 running Solaris 8.  It will not run on any other platform 
(ie. sun4m or sun4u).  Nor would I expect it to run under any other operating system.

The sun4m binaries - 

net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.6_sun4m.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.7_sun4m.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.8_sun4m.tar.gz

Due to memory issues, there are three versions
of the sun4m binary, one each for Solaris 2.6, 7 and 8.  These versions
will not run on sun4d or sun4u hardware; neither will they run
on the incorrect operating system.  These binaries have not been tested
on Solaris 9.

The sun4m binaries were compiled on a SPARC 5.

It is known to run on the following platforms:

Sparc 5 (2.6,7,8)

The sun4u binaries - 

net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.6_sun4u.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.7_sun4u.tar.gz
net-snmp_5.0.8-SunOS_5.8_sun4u.tar.gz

As stated above, due to memory issues, there are three versions
of the sun4u binary, one each for Solaris 2.6, 7 and 8.  These versions
will not run on sun4m or sun4d hardware; neither will they run
on the incorrect operating system.  These binaries have not been tested
on Solaris 9.

They have been tested on the following platforms in various combinations:

Ultra 1  (2.6)
Ultra 2 Creator 3D (2.6,8)
Ultra 60 (7)
Enterprise 450 (2.6,7,8)
Blade 1000 (8)
280R (8)
V880 (8)
