Building IPMI for Windows:

1. Install Cygwin onto your windows system: Cygwin

   While installing Cygwin, choose gcc and crypto packages in addition to default package.

2. Download the ipmitool source code from ipmitool

3. Unzip, configure and build ipmitool.

   cd ipmitool-1.8.12

   ./configure --enable-intf-lanplus

   make

4. Packaging IPMI binary and related dlls into a zip file.

   mkdir ipmitool

   cp ipmitool-1.8.12/src/.libs/ipmitool.exe ipmitool/

   cp /bin/cygwin1.dll ipmitool/

   cp /bin/ cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll ipmitool/

   cp /bin/cygz.dll ipmitool/

   cp /bin/cyggcc_s-1.dll ipmitool/

   tar -zcvf ipmitool.tar ipmitool

5. Unzip the file, ipmitool.tar in your destination host. Some of the sample commands:

   ipmitool.exe -I lan -U username -P password -H hosname sensor

   ipmitool.exe -I lanplus -U username -P password -H hosname -C 3 sol activate

You can use MobaXterm for Windows (alternative to Cygwin) and download the ipmitool plugin for it.

Just in case anyone else is trying to do this more recently...

Cygwin now uses OpenSSL 1.1 and the ipmitool 1.8.12 source code and cygwin version mentioned in Ashok's above answer assumed OpenSSL 1.0.

This might be fixed in upcoming release 1.8.19, but as of 1.8.18 it's not, so you'll have to download the latest source from GitHub: https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool (they moved from SourceForge)

Also, you'll need from cygwin_setup to also install:

• automake
• autoconf
• libtool

Then you can run

cd ipmitool-master/ ; ./bootstrap && ./configure && make

(configure includes lanplus plugin by default now)

I haven't tried to copy the cygwin DLLs to another machine as solution mentioned, but if you want to do that, you'd need cygcrypto-1.1.dll instead of 1.0 above.
