I hit this too on my iMac and submitted a fix a couple of days ago which hopefully addresses this. Are you running the latest from master?

[RGerzaguet]

Thank you very much for your feedback ! Unfortunately, I am up to date with master branch.

I updated to 10.14.2 and it still built fine. I'm not an expert at toolchains by any means, but I know there are various flavors of libtool.

$ cat config.log | grep libtool
configure:5420: checking for libtool
configure:5436: found /usr/bin/libtool
configure:5447: result: libtool
ac_cv_prog_ac_ct_LIBTOOL=libtool
LIBTOOL='libtool'

For me configure finds /usr/bin/libtool which is the one installed by Xcode.

Thank's a lot for your feedback, it solves the problem by itself. It seems that I have some dependency breaks due to macports and that libtool was not inherited properly. It perfectly works now ! Thank's again for your rapid and constructive feedbacks ! @+R

I get an issue when building on MAC, it doesn't build libliquid.a. Instead, it simply installs libliquid.ar. Is there a way to tell the configure script to build the static library? cheers
