Compiling Intel’s Data Center Manageability Interface on 64-bit

I needed to use Intel’s Data Center Manageability Interface program to interface with IPMI that does not have a dedicated controller, so we needed to use software emulation. Two issues that we had were:

  1. The binaries provided on their website didn’t work due to needing older libraries that had deprecated functions in them.
  2. Source code didn’t compile because of those same libraries that were missing.

I’m including a patch for DCMI_Conformance.cpp that will allow it to compile on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. The source came from ipdc-1-5-0-31-0-src.tar.gz, which was downloaded from Intels site. Just make sure that you have the dev libraries installed for ncurses and libssl.
