[Starpu-devel] starpu autogen error with libtool on mac os x

[Florent Pruvost <florent.pruvost@inria.fr>]

Hi,

I have tried to build starpu-1.2.0rc6 on a mac os x 10.9.5 and I've got 
the following error during the execution of the autogen script:

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command './autogen.sh' returned non-zero 
exit status 1
=> Error: Installation process had nonzero exit code.

From what I understand, libtool is used as the gnu libtool version 
whereas the libtool command in the environment is the macosx native one.
The standard gnu libtool is installed in my environment through a
     $ brew install libtool
but looking for the info it seems that the gnu libtool executale is 
called "glibtool" with the brew package, cf.
    $ brew info libtool
    $ ...
    $ ==> Caveats
    $ In order to prevent conflicts with Apple's own libtool we have 
prepended a "g"
    $ so, you have instead: glibtool and glibtoolize.

Best,
Florent
