Note: Using “tar -cvzf ipmitool-1.8.12” command to compress it.
Using “tar -xvzf ipmitool-1.8.12.tar.gz” command to uncompress it.

cd ipmitool-1.8.12
./configure --enable-intf-lanplus

Note: When I type make in the cygwin, it says no make command. Please refer to this article(How to install additional package after install Cygwin) for details.

Step 5: Packaging IPMI binary and related dlls into a file.

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/
