I close this item, because this is not a problem of simulavr but the installed toolchain. On my old system I run into the same trouble but could work with the workaround ( setting AC_PORG_LIBTOOL instead of LT_INIT).

Hi Jules,

the problem, as you also found out, is the version of libtool. With a change on august 27th 2009 version of libtool is limited to version 2.2 or newer. So I could tell, your libtool is a little bit outdated. :-) Maybe you could try to "revert" this change locally. Delete the lines with "LT_INIT" and "LT_PREREQ(...)" and
write "AC_PROG_LIBTOOL" on this place. Maybe it helps you, I can't try it.

cu, Thomas

I usually have hard time using auto-tools, so I use my hand-coded makefile (attached). Beware: it does not handle header dependencies, you need `make clean' if you change a header.

I cannot help you. I tried to learn autotools few years ago and failed.

I hope some of the folks reading mailing list may help you. (Changes in bugtracker are forwarded there.)

1.5, so that'll be the problem.  Might be worth documenting the version dependency. :)

LT_INIT and LT_PREREQ are only available in libtool 2.2 or higher

Which version of libtool is on your system?

run:

 $ libtool --version

to find out.  You might need to upgrade to libtool 2.2 or newer.

Adding AC_PROG_LIBTOOL as suggested by the output of bootstrap helps, but does not completely solve the problem.  I'm not an autoconf expert, so apologies if I've done this wrong:

Debian lenny system (with autoconf upgraded from lenny-backports):

autoconf  2.65-2~bpo50+1
automake  1:1.10.1-3
m4     1.4.13-3~bpo50+1

Using tree downloaded from git (most recent commit is 1afa4d03603b618a6326c2aabc5a0bb0b3fcd0e2).

Output of build process:

jules@vengeance:~/Work/avr/simulavr$ ./bootstrap
Remember to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' to `configure.ac'.
You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
configure.ac:9: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac:9: installing `./missing'
src/Makefile.am:18: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
src/Makefile.am:18:   The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
src/Makefile.am:18:   to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.
src/Makefile.am:18:   If `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' is in `configure.ac', make sure
src/Makefile.am:18:   its definition is in aclocal's search path.

Now type './configure' to configure simulavr.
