The existence of Linux kernel source or headers indeed pose a serious limitation - other software packages require them to be available for a successful build. I'd consider existence of ipmi.h the rule with Linux systems, not the exception. I can confirm though that the --disable-intf-open-dual-bridge option results in a clean build. > However I want to ask developers, and especially Jean-Michel Audet, what > they think about disabling this code by default, or even auto-detect if > appropriate OpenIPMI header is available? I'd prefer that...
