title: ASN.1 compilers
body: <p>This is my first question so please bear with me, I'm trying to find a good compiler to parse the following <a href="http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/29_series/29.002/ASN.1/" rel="nofollow">standard</a>, I've tried asn1c and I wasn't able compile it successfully, the problem is that I didn't get any error, I tried with "-P" and there was no output, this is what I did </p>
  
  <p>sn1c MAP-ShortMessageServiceOperations.EXP -P</p>
  
  <p>The files in the link have been generated by SIEMENS and for some reason they are not the standard ASN.1</p>
  
  <p>The question is how can I compile all these ASN files with asn1c or any other asn compiler? </p>
  
  <p>and also I've tried snacc and didn't get anything useful from it either.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to write a C application that will be running on Red-hat Linux</p>
