#10 avoid tampering with TMPDIR
Please consider changing TMDIR to something like TEMPDIR as overriding this particular variable can be both a security risk in a scenario when Bob desperately wants to mess up Alice's ipmiutil build with TMPDIR set to /tmp, and in my case a compiler (lcc 1.23/1.24, not gcc but rather similar to icc in general) gets confused over its own temporary files being missing in that prefix.
The problem is present in the current 3.1.6 release as well.
Quick workaround: sed -i 's,TMPDIR,TEMDIR,g' Makefile*
Thank you for the tool!
Sorry for the delay in responding. I remember doing an update for this ticket, and I believe that the change was included in 3.1.7 and beyond, but it isn't enumerated in the Changelog.
I've just checked 3.2.0 build without this kludge and it's still failing the same way:
Indeed:
Please consider the workaround (sans the typo):
s/TMPDIR/TEMPDIR/g; thank you!I have applied an update that should resolve this in ipmiutil-3.2.1 (does not set TMPDIR), but would like you to confirm it before pushing this out. Here is the updated tarball - https://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/FILES/ipmiutil-3.2.1.tar.gz
ACK; there's #11 though, sorry to come back with that!
Now included in ipmiutil-3.2.1
