    3. Unzip, configure and build ipmitool.

      cd ipmitool-1.8.12

      ./configure –enable-intf-lanplus

      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/
