[meta-oe] net-snmp config help

[Jack Mitchell <ml@communistcode.co.uk>]

Ok, so I managed to get net-snmp compiling however I now have an issue 
where the configure stage is picking up libpci and using that to 
configure net-snmp to look for pci devices on startup which my 
beaglebone doesn't have

    root@beaglebone:~# snmpd
    pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
    pcilib: Cannot find any working access method.
    root@beaglebone:~#

Off I went and found a solution[1] which states that I should force the 
PCI_* defines to off *after* the configuration stage. So I go into my 
work directory and alter includes/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h:

    /* define if you have pci_lookup_name() */
    #undef HAVE_PCI_LOOKUP_NAME

    /* Define to 1 if you have the <pci/pci.h> header file. */
    #undef HAVE_PCI_PCI_H

Then compile with:

     bitbake net-snmp -c compile -f

Then

     bitbake core-image-minimal

Which does net-snmp do_install and then builds the rootfs. However this 
makes no difference and it still fails with the same error message on 
start. Is my work flow for this wrong, or is it re-configuring, I'm at a 
bit of a loss of what to do now?

I suppose the correct procedure would be to find out why pcilibs is 
being detected and configured, then fix that. Could anyone point me in 
the right direction?

Regards,
Jack.
