N.B. I tried Ubuntu 14.4 (where it works)

32bits? I tried on Ubuntu 12.04、16.04 , but faild again and again!

Sounds like you either forgot to run libtool or it's not installed?

./configure: line 2513: syntax error near unexpected token `disable-static'
./configure: line 2513: `LT_INIT(disable-static)'

Instead of running the autotools manually can you make sure libtool is installed and just run autoreconf -fvi and then try running ./build.sh again?

Note that there are differences in what comes pre-packaged in different Ubuntu versions, or if you use the desktop or server version.

For reference, below is my cookbook, using 14.04.5 Ubuntu 64 bits: (note that the EosSdk stubs from github have no Makefile, the ones from the arista software-download page do, so that explains why autoconf is not always needed...).

(note that the EosSdk stubs from github have no Makefile, the ones from the arista software-download page do, so that explains why autoconf is not always needed...).

That's because we release pre-bootstrapped tarballs, whereas GitHub is just the raw source that requires bootstrapping. This is standard practice in the OSS community.

Thank you @tsuna ，it seems to be the libtool no installed Thank you @ruferp。As a beginner，the Detailed operating instructions helps a lot。 After the libtool and g++ has been added, the libeos.so finally came out!
