    copied!<p>I'm trying to convert libcsv to use libtool so I can use it on mac os x without mangling the makefile. When I try to run the makefile generated from the tools I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>~/software/libcsv (gnu_tools) $ make tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"libcsv\" -DVERSION=\"3.0.1\" -I. -g -O2 -MT libcsv.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libcsv.Tpo -c -o libcsv.lo libcsv.c /bin/sh: --mode=compile: command not found make: [libcsv.lo] Error 127 (ignored) mv -f .deps/libcsv.Tpo .deps/libcsv.Plo mv: rename .deps/libcsv.Tpo to .deps/libcsv.Plo: No such file or directory make: *** [libcsv.lo] Error 1 </code></pre> <p>I'm running OS X 10.5. So after a little fossicking about I noticed that the makefile generated has an empty libtool var:</p> <pre><code>&lt;generated makefile&gt; LD = LDFLAGS = LIBOBJS = LIBS = LIBTOOL = LIPO = LN_S = LTLIBOBJS = &lt;more generated makefile&gt; </code></pre> <p>If I set LIBTOOL to libtool, then all is well. I assume I've made a mistake in my autoconf or automake files which are below:</p> <pre><code>Makefile.am lib_LTLIBRARIES = libcsv.la libcsv_la_SOURCES = libcsv.c include_HEADERS = csv.h libcsv_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 3:1:0 ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 configure.ac dn1 Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.
