This looks like a bug to me. As Juhani mentioned to avoid the name space collisions openipmi introduced the following line selector.h
#ifdef OPENIPMI_DEFINE_SELECTOR_T which is not defined earlier and it is not defined in openhpi. Instead of #ifdef they need to use #ifndef so that older code will work and the newer code could define the variable. If openhpi replaces "selector_t" with "struct selector_s" then the compile works fine. How do we go about this? ________________________________ From: Devarajulu, Mohanasundaram <mohanasundaram.devaraj...@hpe.com> Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2018 8:41:40 AM To: 899...@bugs.debian.org; Juhani Numminen Cc: Helmut Grohne Subject: Bug#899152: FTBFS: ipmi.h:85:2: error: unknown type name 'selector_t' Adam / Juhani, Thank you for sending this email. Looks like something changed in the compiler or the switches in the past one year. We have not touched the ipmi code in ages. Going to work on this today.

See upstream announcement[1]. Helmut, perhaps you can make the whole (cross-)build succeed with the flag -DOPENIPMI_DEFINE_SELECTOR_T?
