Error: Libtool library is used, but LIBTOOL is undefined

Question

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

 Makefile.am:10: error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined Makefile.am:10: The usual way to define 'LIBTOOL' is to add 'LT_INIT' Makefile.am:10: to 'configure.ac' and run 'aclocal' and 'autoconf' again. Makefile.am:10: If 'LT_INIT' is in 'configure.ac', make sure Makefile.am:10: its definition is in aclocal search path.

I already have the configure.ac and Makefile.am parameters defined.

I run the following autotools

• ACLOCAL

• AUTOHEADER

• Automake:

libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2

configure.ac

 # -*- Autoconf -*- # Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script. AC_PREREQ([2.69]) AC_INIT([orientdb-c],[0.9]) AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([src/o_query_internal.h]) AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h]) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE() # Checks for programs. AC_PROG_CXX AC_PROG_AWK AC_PROG_CC AC_PROG_CPP AC_PROG_INSTALL AC_PROG_LN_S AC_PROG_MAKE_SET LT_INIT # Checks for libraries. # Checks for header files. AC_CHECK_HEADERS([malloc.h memory.h netdb.h netinet/in.h stdlib.h string.h sys/ioctl.h sys/socket.h sys/time.h unistd.h]) # Checks for typedefs, structures, and compiler characteristics. AC_TYPE_SIZE_T # Checks for library functions. AC_FUNC_MALLOC AC_FUNC_REALLOC AC_CHECK_FUNCS([gethostbyname memset socket strchr strcspn strdup strerror]) AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]) AC_OUTPUT 

Things I've already tried:

• AUTORECONF

• aclocal -I / usr / share / libtool

• aclocal -I.

Answer 1

Corrected. I need to run libtoolize in a directory and then restart:

• ACLOCAL

• AUTOHEADER

Answer 2

Thanks to @Casper and @Aust, a good answer for me was to install libtool:

 sudo apt-get install libtool
