Install libtools on mac

Question

I wanted to installs libtools on mac. I went to the apple developer site and downloaded the .dgm that downloaded the cmdline tools for Xcode for Mountain Lion.

But when I go to terminal and type libtools it says that the bash command is not found.

Could someone please tell me how to install libtools on mac.

Answer 1

If you installed brew like this

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

You can just write in terminal

brew install libtool

Answer 2

Note that libtool is called glibtool on OSX:

This tool is installed in OS X as glibtool to avoid a name conflict with NeXT libtool.
