Thank you for your reply. So many standards to choose from. Anyway,
the summary: I have libtool-doc and libtool-bin, but no libtool-dev
can be found for my Linux Mint installation. Consequently, no
libtool.pc gets installed, either via libtool-bin or by "make install"
with the source code. (I did a full make and install into /usr/local.)
$ sudo apt install libtool-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libtool-dev
The problem is not (currently) the lack of the libtool tool.
Rather, it is the reliance on distributions using pkg-config:
$ find /usr/lib*/pkgconfig /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ -name 'libtool*'
$ apt list libtool'*' 2>/dev/null | sed 's/^/ /'
Listing...
libtool/bionic,bionic,now 2.4.6-2 all [installed]
libtool-bin/bionic,now 2.4.6-2 amd64 [installed]
libtool-doc/bionic,bionic 2.4.6-2 all
libtoolkit-perl/bionic,bionic 0.0.2-2 all
libtools-analyzer-clojure/bionic,bionic 0.6.9-1 all
libtools-analyzer-jvm-clojure/bionic,bionic 0.7.1-3 all
libtools-cli-clojure/bionic,bionic 0.3.5-2 all
libtools-logging-clojure/bionic,bionic 0.2.3-6 all
libtools-macro-clojure/bionic,bionic 0.1.5-2 all
libtools-namespace-clojure/bionic,bionic 0.2.11-1 all
libtools-nrepl-clojure/bionic,bionic 0.2.12-1 all
libtools-reader-clojure/bionic,bionic 1.0.0-1 all
libtools-trace-clojure/bionic,bionic 0.7.9-1 all
In other words, a libtool "make install" needs to install "libtool.pc".
