在OSX 10.6上编译libnoise

Question

Has anyone compiled, or know of a pre-compiled, libnoise for MacOS X 10.6? It does not compile out of the box here due to a libtool issue.

libtool --mode=compile g++   -c ../src/latlon.cpp -o ../src/latlon.o
libtool: unknown option character `-' in: --mode=compile

Answer 1

This is because OS X has its own libtool , quite different from GNU's libtool , which is called glibtool on OS X. You need to edit Makefile in src/ to set

LIBTOOL = glibtool

etc. You should also delete the lines which generates .so files, because OS X has a different format for the dynamic library and how it is installed. I'd recommend you to stick to .a file. Good luck!
