The OSIMIS environment compiles with GNU gcc version 4.0.2 on linux. The archive oimis-4.0.12.tar contains the osimis-4.0 source archive and 12 patch archives. You should extract the files from those archives, starting from osimis-4.0.tar.gz and continuing with the 12 patches osimis-4.0-patch-??.tar.gz in the right order. There is information on making OSIMIS in osimis/README. In short, the following steps need to be followed. First, you need to get the GNU gawk program which must be installed in one of the directories pointed to by the PATH environment variable. Then you need to set the OSIMISETCPATH environment variable to point to the osimis/etc directory. e.g.: % setenv OSIMISETCPATH /tmp/osimis/osimis/etc Then you should copy the linux file to CONFIG.make: % cd osimis % cp CONFIG.make.linux CONFIG.make Then you should customise the CONFIG.make file by: 1. setting the HOME variable to point to the top osimis directory 2. possibly changing the CC and CCPLUS variables if your GNU compilers are not installed in /opt/bin 3. setting the PEPSY variable to point to the ISODE pepsy ASN.1 compiler 4. setting the ISODE variable to the directory containing libisode.a Then you are ready to make osimis: % ./make install-h % ./make Having made osimis, you can run the sma agent in agent/sma/ and test it with the mibdump program in manager/general/. In order to do that, you need to set the gmsLogDir variable in etc/osimistailor and make sure the pointed directory exists, otherwise create it. You will also need to make an entry for SMA on the computer where it will run in etc/isoentities (see also osimis/README): yourhost SMA 1.17.5.12.0 \ #603/Internet=yourhostIPaddress+11010 You can then do in a window: % cd agent/sma % sma and in another window % cd manager/general % mibdump SMA yourhost -s wholesubtree There is a lot of information on OSIMIS in the README and osimis/doc/ directories, one needs to invest time.
