generator ?

[play113]

Why is there no generator binary in release package ?

ok ... ok ;)

Due to the dynamic dependency on NetSNMP, you must build the generator yourself.

$> lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release: 12
Codename: bookworm

$> go version
go version go1.19.8 linux/amd64

$> git clone https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter.git
$> cd snmp_exporter/generator/
$> apt-get install unzip build-essential libsnmp-dev # Debian-based distros
$> make generator mibs
go build
go: errors parsing go.mod:
/home/xxxxx/tmp/snmp_exporter/go.mod:5: unknown directive: toolchain
make: *** [Makefile:109: generator] Error 1

;(

Your Go compiler version is too old.
