We are using gcc version 4.8.5. I have created the output as an attachment. Kindly take a look.

Hi,

have you followed https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/wiki/Home/? Looking at those errors, I'd say you're missing stdint.h for some reason.

Thanks for the quick response.

I have attached the output of ./configure. In the output i found this

"checking for stdint.h... yes"

• • So i assume it is not missing stdint.h

This is the result of bootstrap:-(Could this be the reason for the failures i am experiencing)

ash-4.3# ./bootstrap

• aclocal
  ./bootstrap[33]: aclocal: not found.
• libtoolize --automake --copy
  ./bootstrap[34]: libtoolize: not found.
• autoheader
  ./bootstrap[36]: autoheader: not found.
• automake --foreign --add-missing --copy
  ./bootstrap[37]: automake: not found.
• aclocal
  ./bootstrap[39]: aclocal: not found.
• autoconf
  ./bootstrap[40]: autoconf: not found.
• automake --foreign
  ./bootstrap[41]: automake: not found.

Could be. Output on GNU/Linux Debian:

https://github.com/zstyblik/docker-ipmitool-builder/blob/master/Dockerfile#L7 ~ here are some, but I really doubt all, dependencies(packages) on Debian. I think you'd be better off to ask at IPMI tool mailing list as, unfortunately, I know nothing about AIX :\

Hello,

have you made any progress? Don't you want to ask at IPMI tool mailing list? Somebody might know what's wrong.

Hi Zdenek,

I have mailed to the mailing list.

Tom Joseph

Please, can you try to compile 1.8.16 and then version from git? Or can you successfully compile any other version? Let's narrow it down.
