HUAWEI utool is a C99 client library that manges HUAWEI servers using iBMC REST APIs.

utool is based on C99 and built with cmake. So, the compile ENV should have:

• git
• CMake>=3.5.0
• C Compiler
• OpenSSL(required by libcurl)
• ipmitool

please make sure git is ready in your ENV. Clone process may cause a long time according to your network situation.

cd ${your-workspace}
git clone https://github.com/IamFive/huawei-utool.git utool
cd utool

The CURL version required is >=7.56.0, the third-party/curl provide along with source code is curl-7_65_0. Please make sure libssl-dev and libssh2-dev is ready before making CURL (the dev package name maybe different in your ENV).

1. To install libssl-dev

• ubuntu: sudo apt install libssl-dev
• RedHat: sudo yum install openssl-devel

1. To install libssh2-dev

• ubuntu: sudo apt install libssh2-*-dev
• RedHat: sudo yum install libssh2-devel

1. Build CURL

cd ${your-workspace}/utool
cd third-party/curl
./buildconf
./configure --with-ssl --with-libssh2
make

Using cmake to build utool, after make utool-bin script will be generated under build folder.

cd ${workspace}/utool
rm -rf build && mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake .. && make

After make done, run sudo make install to install utool to current system.

cd ${workspace}/utool/build
sudo make install

Remember, before using utool, you should make sure libcurl>=7.56.0 has been installed. You can install libcurl through package manager like apt-get, yum or through:

cd ${your-workspace}/utool/third-party/curl
./buildconf
./configure --with-ssl --with-libssh2
make 
sudo make install

After install,

• utool bin script will be install to /usr/local/bin
• utool bin script will be install to ${your-workspace}/bin
• utool lib will be install to /usr/local/lib
• utool lib will be install to ${your-workspace}/lib
• utool static lib will be install to /usr/local/lib
• utool static lib will be install to ${your-workspace}/lib

$ cd ${workspace}/utool/build
$ ./utool-bin --version
