Question

How does one correct undefined macro, AC_PROG_LIBTOOL under Mac OSX?

I'm attempting to install GPSTk 1.2 under Mac OSX, version 10.4.8 on a Mac G4. In following the installation procedure for UNIX without jam, I get the following messages:

dsl092-239-159:~/gpstk-1.2 samueldupree$ ./autogen.sh /sw/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:5: warning: underquoted definition of PKG_CHECK_MODULES run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending%20aclocal configure.ac:14: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. autoreconf: /sw/bin/autoconf-2.59 failed with exit status: 1 dsl092-239-159:~/gpstk-1.2 samueldupree$

Any thoughts?

Sam Dupree.

Just to let you know Mac OSX is not a platform we have ported to yet. We are interested but haven't had anyone step up to the plate as of yet.

I have just successfully built the latest version in subversion with OS X 10.5. I have installed the Development tools for OS X, fink, and subversion. After that, run autogen.sh, configure, and then make. The entire libraries and apps should build.
