failed to install on Mac OS

[gomjellie]

I tried to follow steps on README

input:

brew install bison flex gmp readline autoconf-archive
autoreconf -i

output:

Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/local/Cellar/autoconf/2.69/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 326.
autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory

I googled how to resolve it and I found that I should install automake

input:

brew install automake
autoreconf -i
YACC="$(brew --prefix bison)/bin/bison -y" ./configure --enable-debug

and I found suspicious line at log of configure command

output:

...
checking ... yes
./configure: line 7593: LT_SYS_SYMBOL_USCORE: command not found 
checking ... yes
...

anyway I kept going on

input:

make

output:

Hi there,

this looks like a missing dependency (one that's probably not listed in the README.md). The LT_SYS_SYMBOL_USCORE symbol is needed as MacOS prepends a __ before symbols. Since there is assembly in bic this needs to be detected and the symbol names prepended. It appears as though these macros are exported by libtool. Do you have that installed?

I have default one.

libtool -V
