Re: Convincing Automake to support libtool

It seems that none of the libtool related macro definitions are being
expanded in configure even though aclocal and autoconf do not produce any
warnings. I expect that this is why Automake does not detect libtool.
What I have now learned the hard way is that aclocal ignores the
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) definition in configure.ac. As a result it
does not look for extra m4 files in the m4 subdirectory. In order to
bootstrap and obtain a working configure script I had to execute:
aclocal -I m4 && autoheader && autoconf && automake
It seems to me that this is a bug in aclocal.
