Synopsis
mcompile [–d mib file directory ] filespec
Description
The mcompile command enables you to compile an SNMP MIB file into an intermediate format (CFG) file
that can be registered via the mxmib utility for use with HP SIM. If the MIB file being compiled includes
IMPORTS from other MIBs, the imported MIB files must be in the same directory as the MIB file being compiled.
Options
-d mib file directory
Change to the specified directory to locate and process the MIB file. The mib file
directory must include the absolute path name. The CFG file is placed in the same
directory. By default, mcompile looks for the MIB file in the current directory and places
the CFG file in the current directory.
