Not sure if this is the proper context for this question, but I found the closest related post here. Unfortunately, I am very new to automake.

I am having the exact same issue as described in the link above. I tried running "autoreconf -i" as suggested, but it fails with this output:

Can't exec "libtoolize": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 189.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 189.
configure.ac:23: error: xorg-macros version 1.8 or higher is required but 1.5.0 found
/usr/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4:39: XORG_MACROS_VERSION is expanded from...
configure.ac:23: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

Does anyone have any advice on attacking this issue? Do I have the right approach to building, or should I be doing something else?
