I am trying to automake the OrientDb C++ library, but getting some errors.
Makefile.am:10: error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined
Makefile.am:10: The usual way to define 'LIBTOOL' is to add 'LT_INIT'
Makefile.am:10: to 'configure.ac' and run 'aclocal' and 'autoconf' again.
Makefile.am:10: If 'LT_INIT' is in 'configure.ac', make sure
Makefile.am:10: its definition is in aclocal's search path.

I have configure.ac and Makefile.am already defined.
I run the following autotools
aclocal
autoheader
automake:
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2
configure.ac
# -*- Autoconf -*-
# Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.
AC_PREREQ([2.69])

Things I already tried:
autoreconf
aclocal -I /usr/share/libtool
aclocal -I .
Fixed it. I needed to run libtoolize in the directory, then re-run:
aclocal
autoheader
In my case on macOS I solved it with:
brew link libtool
For people using Tiny Core Linux, you also need to install libtool-dev as it has the *.m4 files needed for libtoolize.
For mac it's simple:
brew install libtool
For folks who ended up here and are using CYGWIN, install following packages in cygwin and re-run:
A good answer for me was to install libtool:
sudo apt-get install libtool
