Re: [Freeipmi-devel] freeipmi : Request to spin up a new version of freeipmi with ppc64le support.
You all do realize that most distributions will update config.guess and libtool as needed to support new arches, right? That's what at least Gentoo and (at least for some cases) Fedora do, and I'm pretty sure other distributions have similar if not identical procedures.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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