Hi Julian,

OS X normally comes with a /usr/bin/libtool and a /usr/bin/glibtool.  The libtool is actually an apple creation and not the standard libtool.  glibtool is the gnu libtool version.  Similarly, they renamed libtoolize to glibtoolize, but there is no apple libtoolize.  This is true on all 4 of the systems I have.

Hi Brian,
 
On our Mac OS X system here, libtool is /usr/bin/libtool, so there is no need to set any environment variables.  I don't know why it is different on your system.  You do need a fairly current set of the autoconf/automake/libtool tools installed in order for everything to configure and build properly, and *all the tools* need to be installed in the same place, since they interact and refer to each other when you run autoreconf.  If you use the --disable-fortran option, you will not be able to make the benchmarks codes, since they require a Fortran compiler.  I changed the blitz configure script to not bother trying to create a Makefile for the benchmarks directory in this case.  Everything else should be OK.

Hi Julian,

I just was playing with it. Because on OS X libtool is actually glibtool and libtoolize is glibtoolize, I had to do the following:
export LIBTOOLIZE=/usr/bin/glibtoolize
export LIBTOOL=/usr/bin/glibtool

This fixed some things, but OS X comes with an old automake (version 1.6.3). If I autoreconf it actually makes the configure file though. I can ./configure --prefix=/Users/helenbrk/Codes --disable-fortran, make, & make install and get the library as well as the include files but it reports an error when it gets to "benchmarks". However, I did end up with a working copy of blitz++ so I was happy. The following shows the errors I ended up with.

autoreconf -fiv

benchmarks/Makefile.am: installing `config/depcomp'
doc/Makefile.am:44: installing `config/texinfo.tex'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

Configure doesn't report any errors, and make and make install report errors when getting to "benchmarks":

gamgee:~/Codes/blitz helenbrk$ make
.
lots of output
.
Making all in benchmarks
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make install
.
lots of output
.
Making install in benchmarks
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I downloaded the newest version of automake (includes aclocal as well), but I am hesistant to clobber my old ones. I installed automake and aclocal in my home directory and defined AUTOMAKE=${HOME}/bin/automake and ACLOCAL=${HOME}/bin/aclocal, but that didn't work out:

gamgee:~/Codes/blitz helenbrk$ autoreconf -fiv
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'

Brian,
Did installing a current version of libtool resolve the problems you were having with configuring and building blitz?
Your messages to blitz-support just showed up on the mailing list today.

Subject: [Blitz-support] cvs Build on OS X

Hello,

So far I have been using blitz on OS X and been very happy with its performance (as good as my own hand-tuned really ugly C code). It fills a giant gaping hole in C++ that has always driven me crazy. Anyway, I have two questions. The first is that I tried to post to the list, but I seem to be getting moderated... Its been about 3 days now. Any reason for that? The real question is concering building from CVS on OS X Tiger. This is the e-mail I tried to send 3 days ago:

blitz-support,

I saw in past e-mails people have gotten blitz to compile from CVS on OS X, but I can't figure it out. I am running OS X 10.4.1 (Tiger). I was able to download from cvs, and I tried autoreconf -fiv, but I ran into trouble there.

Tiger comes with autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

and automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3
Written by Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>.

I upgraded automake locally to version 1.9.5, and that fixed some problems, (Before doing this I had some problem with the command "libtoolize"

Now I get the following error message:

autoreconf -fiv
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
aclocal:configure.ac:76: warning: macro `AM_DISABLE_SHARED' not found in library
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
configure.ac:76: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_DISABLE_SHARED
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:77: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1


Sorry if this had been discussed before, I couldn't find anything in the archives.

Brian

P.S. the reason I want to do this is to use the --disable-fortran configure flag
