[jazzplusplus-devel] AC_PROG_LIBTOOL not defined? libtools needed

[<ben...@ya...>]

Hi, 

Long time follower of jazz development, finally making the plunge and seeing what the current state is, now that there seems to be a lot of progress.

The first time I ran bootstrap, I got the following error:
square: [ ~/Build/jazz  ] 189> ./bootstrap
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I config
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
configure.ac:44: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

I re-ran it after a few tweaks and bootstrap completed with no error.  But all is not well.  When I ran configure, an error including AC_PROG_LIBTOOL cropped up again:
checking dependency style of g++... gcc3
../jazz/configure: line 4844: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL: command not found
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E

Googling, it looked like I needed libtools too, and low and behold, installing that caused bootstrap to do the right thing and configure also worked.  So, I'll note that the following build tools are needed in addition to gcc etc:
autoconf
automake
libtools 

Perhaps these requirements should be included in the build instructions?  I guess I'm a greenhorn.  But anyway, it's building, here's hoping!
