That does sound neat, but is there a plan to add Windows IPMI driver support to the ipmidirect plugin or something?

I'd like to raise a topic about OpenHPI base library for Windows. Current top of openhpi svn trunk is quite appropriate for this. Created feature request #3031797. Let's discuss the code model and distribution options: - separate source tree or single? - separate build system or single? - what compilers use? - distribute source code? - distribute binary libraries? - make native windows build or use cross-compiler? - make build on SourceForge side? The current status of my investigations: - There is base library libopenhpi - It depends on aux libraries: -- libopenhpiutils (various helper functions) -- libopenhpimarshal (marshalling layer) -- libopenhpitranspirt (transport layer, TCP) All libraries depend on glib-2.0 library which is available on Windows under LGPL. I used the following options: - native mingw - ok, small code changes need only in two source files in libopenhpiutils - cross mingw on linux host - ditto - visual studio 2005 - ok but code changes are quite big. microsoft compilers still do not support C99. However, DLLs produced with mingw are usable with visual studio. For mingw I have to create a set of makefiles. Different from current build system. I guess there is no need for configure, automake, autoconf hell for this task. I tried hpitop client and hpibrowser on windows - all was fine.
