I am trying to build Guile 1.8.8 from source. I am stuck at the point where the build system is looking for libtool
. I have installed it in a non-standard location.
I have already built Guile 2.0.11. In 2.0.11 build system, there is an explicit flag to configure --with-libltdl-prefix
, which I think tells the build system where libtool is installed.
For Guile 1.8.8, I have Libtool installed in a non-standard location. How do I tell the build system where it is installed?
I am specifically getting error messages like:
libguile/Makefile.am:40: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
libguile/Makefile.am:40: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `LT_INIT'
I think in general this is a question regarding one or more of the autotools and how the build system finds programs / headers / libraries in non-standard locations.
