installed libtool but libtoolize not found

Question

im trying to build libxml2 from source on my mac.

so i have autoconf libtool and automake installed using mac ports

autoconf and automake seem to be working

Answer 1

An alternative to Brew is to use macports. For example:

$ port info libtool
libtool @2.4.6_5 (devel, sysutils)
Variants:             universal

Description:          GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface.
Homepage:             https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool

Build Dependencies:   xattr
Platforms:            darwin, freebsd
License:              libtool
Maintainers:          Email: larryv@macports.org, GitHub: larryv

Then like Brew, you do:

$ sudo port install libtool
Password:

Then you can check where it lives ... btw, you can soft-link glibtoolize to libtoolize. For my needs either was okay

$ which glibtoolize
/opt/local/bin/glibtoolize
