Have the same issue on Mac

I think the issues are not the same.
@bIgBV's one and @miranska's one are failed at ./configure.
However, @CliveK's one is failed at ./autogen.sh.

@KazuakiM, could you consider adding depends_on "libtool" => :build to universal-ctags.rb ?

In this March, I introduced a library called libreadtags.so to u-ctags.
For building libreadtags.so, libtool is needed.
Missing libtool may cause the failure of running ./autogen.sh as reported by @CliveK.

CliveK commented Jul 6, 2020

@masatake - could you perhaps advise me as to how to install the libtool is needed.

I installed libtool via homebrew but still get the same as above.

configure.ac:129: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE

Is pkg-config installed?

wadkar commented Jul 6, 2020

@CliveK , I think brew install libtool gives you a g prefixed binaries, see brew info libtool:

libtool: stable 2.4.6 (bottled)
Generic library support script
https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/
Not installed
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/libtool.rb
==> Caveats
In order to prevent conflicts with Apple's own libtool we have prepended a "g"
so, you have instead: glibtool and glibtoolize.

So you may want to create a symlink, for example: cd /usr/local/bin && ln -s glibtool libtool && ln -s glibtoolize libtoolize

That might pick up the brew installed GNU Libtool and make it work (haven't tried (yet)).

As far as reading

homebrew-universal-ctags/universal-ctags.rb

Line 8 in faaef55

depends_on "pkg-config" => :build
, pkg-config must be available.
autogen.sh also verifies the availability of pkg-config command.

However, as @k-takata wrote, missing pkg-config is a well-known reason for "configure.ac:129: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE". e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20089579/error-ac-define-is-not-found-to-autoreconf-force-install

I have pkg-config installed and have now done what @wadkar suggested but still getting same error.

@masatake
I reinstalled master branch when I uninstalled libtool. I could install universal-ctags.
And I tested TravisCI too.

https://travis-ci.org/github/KazuakiM/homebrew-universal-ctags/builds/705820196

So I think not require libtool at build.
