Compiling issue related to libtool object about lakka-libreelec

[ShigeakiAsai]

Hello, @GabrielAnacletoBaumgartner

I could not reproduce this issue.
It may be happened on environment.

Please confirm the version of libtool.
Or, is libtool installed your environment?

My build environment:
hoge@PCname:~$ libtool --version
Command 'libtool' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install libtool-bin

hoge@PCname:~$ .//Lakka-LibreELEC/build.Lakka-Generic.x86_64-5.0-devel/toolchain/bin/libtool --version
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.7

I changed username and hostname.

Thanks

Thanks for replying, i tried and it looks like libtool wasn't installed.

I installed as instructed.

but when it comes to the libtool version, it says this:

libtool (GNU libtool) **_2.4.6_**

It looks like the version is different.

Anyways... I managed to make it work. After I installed libtool with sudo apt install libtool I followed this post

I would like to ask you guys to add the command for installing all Lakka's compiling dependencies in the Compiling Lakka page and/or in README.md from Github:

 **Compiling dependencies**
 
If you want to compile Lakka you need will need Ubuntu/Debian with the necessary packages. Install them using the following command:
> sudo apt install build-essential libtool libc6-dev-i386 gcc-multilib libssl-dev uuid-dev libuuid1 gperf texinfo lzop xsltproc libncurses5-dev libjson-perl u-boot-tools gawk libsigsegv2 patchutils

The same thing should be done to Github's Wiki page Compiling Lakka
Just copy and paste it. It's going to save a lot of time for many people trying to build it.
