#15 Compiling v2.1.2 under macOS Mojave fails not finding libtool

[lhaeger]

I'm trying to compile xca from the xca-2.1.2.tar.gz package on my Mac and ./configure fails to recognize libltdl, which has been installed via MacPorts. Here's the output:

xca $ ./configure

ERROR: Library 'ltdl' with symbol 'lt_dlopen' not found.
       Try installing the package 'libltdl-dev' or 'libtool'

I did install all dependencies via macports already, including openssl, qt5 and libtool:

xca $ port installed | egrep 'qt5|libtool|openssl'
  libtool @2.4.6_5 (active)
  openssl @1.0.2q_0 (active)
  qt5-qtbase @5.12.0_2+openssl (active)
  qt5-qtdeclarative @5.12.0_1 (active)
  qt5-qtmacextras @5.12.0_1 (active)
  qt5-qtmultimedia @5.12.0_1 (active)
  qt5-qtsvg @5.12.0_1 (active)
  qt5-qttools @5.12.0_1 (active)
  qt5-qttranslations @5.12.0_1 (active)

 xca $ find /opt/local/ -name *ltdl*
/opt/local//include/ltdl.h
/opt/local//include/libltdl
/opt/local//lib/libltdl.a
/opt/local//lib/libltdl.dylib
/opt/local//lib/libltdl.7.dylib
/opt/local//share/libtool/ltdl.h
/opt/local//share/libtool/ltdl.mk
/opt/local//share/libtool/ltdl.c
/opt/local//share/libtool/libltdl
/opt/local//share/aclocal/ltdl.m4

Obviously openssl and qt5 are found, but not so libtool. Any idea what I could try to fix this?

Moved this issue to Github as that seems to be the place for bug tracking nowadays...
