error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined

Question

I am trying to automake the OrientDb C++ library, but getting some errors.

Makefile.am:10: error: Libtool library used but \'LIBTOOL\' is undefi         


        

Answer 1

In my case on MacOs I solved it with:

brew link libtool

I know it's an old question but just ran into this, maybe it will help someone else.

Answer 2

A good answer for me was to install libtool:

sudo apt-get install libtool

Answer 3

Fixed it. I needed to run libtoolize in the directory, then re-run:

• aclocal

• autoheader

Answer 4

For mac it's simple:

brew install libtool

Answer 5

For folks who ended up here and are using CYGWIN, install following packages in cygwin and re-run:

• cygwin32-libtool
• libtool
• libtool-debuginfo

Answer 6

For people using Tiny Core Linux, you also need to install libtool-dev as it has the *.m4 files needed for libtoolize.
