[Nut-upsuser] Newbie - SNMP-UPS Driver Issue

Hello all,
I have exhausted my research and need a little help with some basic concepts.
First time configuration working with NUT and putting into a OS X environment.
Was able to install the package using Brew. Have read the documentation and have
been able to get the server running and agent running using MACOSX-UPS driver
and connect to UPS via USB. I would however like to integrate a TrippLite UPS
with TLNETCARD (IP management card). I see in the documentation that this may be
best accomplished using SNMP-UPS driver. However, I do not see the SNMP-UPS
drivers with the other drivers in the directory of drivers? It is not clear to
me if the Brew install does not provide this driver or if I am missing something
different in this concept? Should there be an actual executable file named
SNMP-UPS in the same directory with the other drivers?

I tried to look at the gist hub repos and dowloaded the snmp-ups (c and h)
files. When I try to make these under OS X 10.14,  I get the errors below. (I
must admit here that I am not great at making executables so this may be
something obvious that I am missing in the build). Seems strange to me there
would be this many errors in the current code base unless I have a bad
configuration parameter or the code is not compatible with Mojave?

So I guess my questions at this point are as follows:

Can I simply download the already built SNMP-UPS executable driver from
somewhere that can be used on OS X Mojave 10.14? If so where is this available
from?

If I need to build my own executable, what am I missing or doing wrong that is
causing all of the errors in the build process?

Is the SNMP-UPS driver the best way to interact with a TrippLite IP based 
TLNETCARD? If so do I need a sub-driver or anything more to make this work?

Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Dean

From <https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/nut

enable SNMP support in NUT:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/nut.rb#L52
<https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/nut.rb#L52>

I don't use Brew, so I am not sure if it is easier to adapt their
configuration to compile against SNMP libraries, or if you can get Brew to
coexist with Fink. The SNMP drivers for NUT are in the "nut-snmp"
splitoff in Fink:

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/nut-snmp
<http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/nut-snmp>

I maintain the Fink package of NUT, so let me know if you have any questions. I
have not tested against Mojave yet.

The NUT source files are not meant to be compiled in isolation - the typical
sequence is to run the "./configure" script to detect which versions
of library functions are available (and where to find optional libraries), and
then to run "make" (which will pass in a lot of extra preprocessor
defines to the compiler with "-D"). You might be able to get Brew to
show the details with some sort of "verbose" flag.

Please use reply-all to include the list (the list does not mangle headers like
reply-to), and feel free to subscribe (it is not very high-traffic):

[Nut-upsuser] Newbie - SNMP-UPS Driver Issue

Thanks Charles,
Appreciate the insights and clarity. This points me in the right direction. I
will look into the Fink environment along with the nut version under Fink that
includes SNMP-UPS support. Will circle back with any additional questions after
I have a chance to become familar with Fink and the new NUT installation
configuration.

Best regards
