error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined
library used but ranlib' is undefined
error: required file './ltmain.sh' not found
I am trying to automake the OrientDb C++ library, 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's search path.

I have configure.ac and Makefile.am already 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.

Things I already tried:
autoreconf
aclocal -I /usr/share/libtool
aclocal -I .
Thanks to @Casper and @Aust a good answer for me was to install libtool:
sudo apt-get install libtool

Just like in the static case, the library behaves as an alias to a set of object files and dependency libraries, but in this case the object files are suitable for inclusion in shared libraries.

This doesn’t matter so much for static libraries, but on shared library systems, it is of great importance.
Comments
- For anyone else stumbling on this error the fix for me was:
sudo apt-get install libtool. - Thanks @Casper you saved my lot of time. For centOs folks it is
yum install libtool. - In my case, I just need to install libtool.
sudo apt-get install libtool - @Aust same, brew install libtool for OS X using homebrew
- You could mark your answer as solved since it solved your problem.
