Re: [Freeipmi-devel] freeipmi : Request to spin up a new version of freeipmi with ppc64le support.
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.

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.

Re: [Freeipmi-devel] freeipmi : Request to spin up a new version of freeipmi with ppc64le support.
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.
