ipmitool下载地址和编译安装时可能出现的问题

1. ipmitool源码（需要编译安装）

ipmitool sourcecode from github

参考压缩包中的INSTALL文件进行编译安装。最简单的安装方法摘录如下：

The simplest way to compile this package is:

 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system. Running `configure' might take a while.  While running, it prints
     some messages telling which features it is checking for.

 2. Type `make' to compile the package. 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package, generally using the just-built uninstalled binaries. 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
     documentation.  When installing into a prefix owned by root, it is
     recommended that the package be configured and built as a regular
     user, and only the `make install' phase executed with root
     privileges.

在编译安装过程中可能会出现的一些错误及处理方法：
1）如果压缩包中只有configure.ac而没有configure文件，那么运行autoconf命令来生成configure脚本。
# autoconf

configure.ac:9: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:10: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.ac:41: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.ac:65: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL

如果autoconf命令执行时报以上错误，那么执行以下命令来更新生成的配置文件。
# autoreconf --install

2）如果要使用lanplus，在编译时要加上启用lanplus选项，
如下所示：
# ./configure --enable-intf-lanplus

如果配置时报以下错误，那么需要安装openssl-devel包。
** The lanplus interface requires an SSL library with EVP_aes_128_cbc defined.

# yum install openssl-devel

3）如果执行configure进行配置时报以下错误，那么需要安装readline-devel包。

configure: error: ** Unable to find readline required by ipmishell.

# yum install readline-devel

4）在configure过程中可能会出现大量的GCC extension的告警，可以忽略，不会影响最后ipmitool的命令使用。

../include/ipmitool/ipmi_entity.h:45:2: **warning**: type of bit-field 'logical' is **a GCC extension** [-Wpedantic]

2. Windows安装版本(不支持lanplus)下载地址

ipmitool for windows from Dell
