</div>I'm not if I understand this patch's intention correctly. glibtool is not provided by default on OS X. Why do you prefer it over libtool?<br>
If you want to switch from libtool to glibtool, please provide reasons why this would be a good idea and add the missing patch to compile it automatically if not installed on a given Mac.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
