ffmpegcentos5

Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined?


Im trying to install ffmpeg on my server. Im unsing centos 5.

When I try to install libfdk_aac I get the following error

` autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Autoheader
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
Makefile.am:31: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
Makefile.am:31:
Makefile.am:31: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
Makefile.am:31: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.
Makefile.am: C objects in subdir but `AM_PROG_CC_C_O' not in `configure.ac'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 ` 

If i type which libtool I get /usr/bin/libtool, so i think libtool is installed. So im not sure why this error is happening.

Thanks for any advice


Solution

  • The error is telling you that either libtool is not installed, or that you are not checking for it in configure.ac. Add the line LT_INIT in configure.ac. If autoreconf then complains that it doesn't know what LT_INIT is, you should either install libtool, upgrade your installation of libtool or use the deprecated AC_PROG_LIBTOOL in configure.ac. (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL should be replaced by LT_INIT in newer projects.)
