Building/Install from source
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The instructions below (modified from the INSTALL file) should
|
|
work for most people.
|
|
|
|
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
|
|
`./configure' to configure the package for your system.
|
|
|
|
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
|
|
messages telling which features it is checking for. If your system
|
|
requires additional packages and/or libraries in order for FreeIPMI
|
|
to be built, appropriate messages should be displayed. These
|
|
packages and/or libraries should be installed and `./configure' should
|
|
be executed again.
|
|
|
|
2. Once `./configure' has succeeded, type `make' to compile the
|
|
package.
|
|
|
|
3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
You may need to be root in order for files to be installed into
|
|
the proper locations on your system.
|
|
|
|
By default files will typically be installed in /usr/local (binaries
|
|
in /usr/local/bin, libraries in /usr/local/lib, configuration files in
|
|
/usr/local/etc/, etc.). To install into the more common locations
|
|
such as /usr/bin, /usr/lib/, /etc, etc. the options passed into
|
|
`./configure' must be adjusted.
|
|
|
|
The following set of options and settings are suitable for most Linux
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
--prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
|
|
--localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man
|
|
|
|
Your mileage may vary depending on your system.
|
|
|
|
If you install the binaries or libraries in non-standard locations
|
|
(e.g. /usr/local or /opt), you may have to update other system
|
|
configuration to find the files and libraries. For example, in Linux
|
|
you may need to update your PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
|
|
variables. Or you may need to update your /etc/ld.so.conf files and
|
|
run ldconfig(8) to find libraries globally. This is highly dependent
|
|
on your operating system.
|
|
|
|
Building RPMs
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
For most people you can build RPMs one of two ways.
|
|
|
|
From the source:
|
|
|
|
rpmbuild -ta freeipmi-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
From the source rpm:
|
|
|
|
rpmbuild --rebuild freeipmi-X.Y.Z-1.src.rpm
|
|
|
|
Depending on your default RPM build environment, you may need to be root
|
|
in order for RPMs to be stored in the default locations.
|
|
|
|
After the RPMs are built, you may install them the normal way:
|
|
|
|
rpm -i freeipmi-X.Y.Z.ARCH.rpm
|
|
|
|
Additional configure options
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following configure options are available to users for more unique
|
|
compilation requirements and environments.
|
|
|
|
--without-encryption
|
|
|
|
This option disables compilation of encryption support in FreeIPMI.
|
|
Most notably, this disables encryption support when doing out of band
|
|
IPMI 2.0 communication.
|
|
|
|
This option may be particularly useful in embedded environments that
|
|
do not have the libraries needed to compile encryption support.
|
|
|
|
--with-dont-check-for-root
|
|
|
|
When running tools inband, root access is normally required. In some
|
|
systems, this may not be desired. This options removes the check for
|
|
root access in FreeIPMI tools.
|
|
|
|
--without-random-device
|
|
|
|
This option disables checks and use of /dev/urandom and /dev/random.
|
|
This may be required for embededded systems without these devices.
|
|
|
|
--with-pkgconfig-dir
|
|
|
|
This option can configure an alternate default pkgconfig directory.
|
|
|
|
--with-bmc-watchdog-logfile
|
|
|
|
This option can configure an alternate default bmc-watchdog log
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
--with-ipmi-monitoring-sdr-cache-dir
|
|
|
|
This option can configure an alternate default libipmimonitoring SDR
|
|
cache directory.
