Thanks Chu
I have tested the freeipmi-1.3.4.ppc64le.1.tar.gz and able to build it
on ppc64le machine.
One question on the frreipmi release.
When you are going to release a new version of freeipmi and are you
going to release the new version by keeping the these changes?
Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Chandan

Hi Chu,
The source tar you provided(freeipmi-1.3.4.ppc64le.tar.gz) need to have
the latest config.guess file in order to build on ppc64le archticture. I
should have mentioned this in my previous mail , sorry I missed that
part.
./configure : has throws the below error :
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
Latest config.guess with ppc64le support is available at :
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
Can you please update the config.guess file the source tar and let me
know so I can verify.
Appreciate your effort.
Thanks,

Hi Chandan,
I can do it for 1.3.4 and release a special tarball just for this
newer
libtool, and perhaps on-demand as it is needed. But I cannot update
the
build process to use it everytime.
I should say ... can't update the build process to use it everytime
until it is more upstream in major distros.

Hi Chu,
we are looking at new release tarball for distro to pick up of
freeipmi.
We are looking at being able to point the pkg tarball to the distro
such
that the pkg build in the distro build( that will obvious Little
Endian
version of Power Linux) without further issues.
Currently available source tarball (freeipmi-1.3.4) on upstream
uses the
libtool that does not have support for ppc64le arch and so the build
failed to generate the shared library.
So I am hoping you will use the alpha libtool and spin up a new
version
of release tarball of freeipmi on upstream.
Thanks

Hi Chandan,
Are you looking for a one-time build w/ this new libtool so you
can try
it on ppc64le machines? Or are you hoping I will use the newer
libtool
for future FreeIPMI releases?
The latter is more difficult for me todo, but I could do a
one-off for
ppc64le people to try out.
Is this related to any work going on at Redhat? Within the last
few
months, several PPC related patches came from Redhat.

Hi Albert,
We are adding support for new ppc64le (IBM powerPC Little
Endian)
architecture as part of which we are looking at all the
packages that
need update.
I was looking at “freeipmi” (from repo: cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonym...@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/freeipmi and
freeipmi-1.3.4 as well ) and was failed to build “freeipmi” on
ppc64le
machine because of outdated libtool.
We have worked with libtool maintainer to get alpha source
release that
has all the needed bits to support building on ppc64le. A
stable release
is expected soon.
You can pick up the libtool alpha source release from either of
the
below :
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.gz
(1.6MB)
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.xz
(920KB)
Would it be possible for you to spin up a newer version of
freeipmi which would support ppc64le? by using alpha libtool
release?
I can help to validate the new release of the freeipmi works
well by compiling on ppc64le machine.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Chandan
