How to compile ipmitool for Windows 32-bit

Here is how to compile ipmitool for Windows. It requires a dependency on Cygwin, but you can copy the Cygwin DLLs and built binary into a separate directory for a standalone install on other systems.

I did the build on a Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition 32-bit with SP2 system. This creates a 32-bit version of the ipmitool.exe file which should work on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms.

All ***32-bit***

1. https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe
2. Cygwin packages
   1. gcc-core (inside Devel category)
   2. make (inside Devel category)
   3. openssl-devel
   4. A bunch more will get auto-required at the next prompt for "Resolving Dependencies"
3. Download the source for ipmitool
4. Extract the source tarball
5. From your Cygwin Terminal go into the source directory
6. ./configure --enable-intf-lanplus
7. make
8. The real exe binary is found in ipmitool-x.y.zz/src/.libs/ipmitool.exe
   • You also need the supporting DLL files
   • The one in ipmitool-x.y.zz/src/ipmitool.exe is only a wrapper script
9. For a standalone copy you can pass around to systems without Cygwin installed copy all of the following (version numbers in the name may vary):
   1. ./src/.libs/ipmitool.exe
   2. C:\cygwin\bin\cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll
   3. C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
   4. C:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll
   5. C:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll
10. Test with ipmitool -I lanplus -H hostname -U username fru

C:\cygwin>setup-x86.exe -q -P wget -P gcc-g++ -P make -P diffutils -P libmpfr-devel -P libgmp-devel -P libmpc-devel -P openssl-devel
