[mpich-devel] Mac autogen.sh fails

[Bland, Wesley]

Ugh. I can confirm that this is happening and it only seems to be in master. The v3.2.1 tag doesn't have this problem. This must have come from all of our messing with the autogen.sh script.

autogen.sh is failing for me on Mac because Apple's libtool is not in the same place as Homebrew's autoconf/automake.  I perused autogen.sh but didn't see an option to fix this.

I need to use Homebrew autotools for other projects and don't want to uninstall Xcode for obvious reasons.  Is there a workaround besides hacking autogen.sh and hating myself?  I'd like to cause it to glibtool instead.

If nothing else, autogen.sh incorrectly prints the location of libtool.  It is in /usr/bin not /.

Thanks,

Jeff
