[zeromq-dev] Problem with libtool --version in autogen.sh

[Brian Granger]

Hi,

I just grabbed the latest trunk and ran:

$ autogen.sh

Could not find libtool, libtool.m4 macro is probably not installed.

I tracked this down to this commit:

http://github.com/sustrik/zeromq2/commit/ff99d753ae30a7b5fef730fdcf1643e2928d9993

Where a the line:

libtool --version ....

was added to autogen.sh.

It turns out that Mac OS X has two libtools:

glibtool: GNU libtool.  This has the --version switch
libtool:  Apples version that does not have the --version switch

I don't know which is used in building zeromq, but it doesn work.
However, the line "libtool --version" does not
work on OS X.  One option would be to change this to "glibtool
--version" on OS X, but that might be confusing
as I am not sure the glibtool is the one being used for the build.

Commenting out the test for libtool in autogen.sh makes it all work though.

Cheers,

Brian
