[Ipmitool-devel] How to install ipmitool 1.8.13

[Tarique Anwer]

Hi,

I am currently using ipmitool 1.8.11 on my SUN Netra X3-2 server (OS:
Solaris 10 update 11).

But I want to upgrade it to latest 1.8.13 version. Because 1.8.11 is not
able to give status of FRU (Power supply):
# ipmitool sdr type "Power supply"
PWRBS | C4h | lnc | 23.0 | 0 unspecified
PS0/STATE | 64h | lnc | 10.0 | 0 unspecified
PS1/STATE | 6Bh | lnc | 10.1 | 0 unspecified
#

I read that in 1.8.13 version, there are fixes related to FRU.

I have downloaded the ipmitool-1.8.13.tar.gz package.
but after untar, i am not able to install it.

I am getting following error in make:
# make
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 825: Extra `:', `::', or `:='
on dependency line
#

If i use "gmake" iso "make" then it works fine. but after running "gmake",
running "gmake install" doesn't install the package on the server.
Please let me know if some extra configuration is required? Or i need to
install some extra package? or anything otherwise.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & regards

First of all, you should try ipmitool version shipped with Oracle's
Hardware Management Pack.

Yes, because % make; != % gmake; in Solaris and other(?) Unices.

~~~
# untar ipmitool && cd ipmitool-1.8.13<whatever>
export MAKE=gmake
sh bootstrap
./configure
make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/package-ipmitool
~~~

I'd rather use full path to gmake; just a suggestion.

Best regards,
Z.
