In case its need for Apple platforms: $ AR=/usr/bin/libtool ARFLAGS='-static -o' ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c ... checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3 checking the archiver (/usr/bin/libtool) interface... unknown configure: error: could not determine /usr/bin/libtool interface And: $ /usr/bin/libtool -V Apple Inc. version cctools-862 /usr/bin/libtool --version, -v and --help produce errors. -V is the only one that works.
