C program using net-snmp does not compile.

[jstech]

I have installed net-snmp 5.8 on a Ubuntu 16.0.4 machine and then I have checked the correct installation:
snmpget --version
NET-SNMP version: 5.8

Next, I am trying to write and compile my first SNMP C program example.

I have copied the one that is included as example on the tutorial from Ben Rockwood ("The Net-SNMP Programming Guide)
and I have tried to compile it with the command:
gcc ‘net-snmp-config --cflags‘ ‘net-snmp-config --libs‘ \

‘net-snmp-config --external-libs‘ snmp_test.c -o snmp_test
As indicated in this tutorial.

When do, I get the errors:
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--cflags‘’
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--libs‘’
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--external-libs‘’

Then I have changed the gcc command to:
gcc net-snmp-config --cflags net-snmp-config --libs \

net-snmp-config --external-libs snmp_test.c -o snmp_test
And get the error:
bash: net-snmp-config --external-libs: ambiguous redirect

What is wrong on the gcc call? Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Maybe try a Ubuntu / Linux forum, pfSense is based on FreeBSD
