configuration error on ubuntu

[kristin-watchmaker]

I ran:
git clone https://github.com/jeffdaily/parasail.git
cd parasail
sudo autoreconf -fi
sudo ./configure

error message:

configure:
./configure: line 11088: syntax error near unexpected token `win32-dll'

./configure: line 11088: `LT_INIT(win32-dll)'

I was able to configure without error when downloading the zip file (parasail-2.4.3.zip)

Which ubuntu version is this? Did you install libtool first? sudo apt update; sudo apt install autoconf automake libtool.

This could indicates your libtool version is too old, since libtool's LT_INIT did not understand the win32-dll directive in the configure.ac file. Or perhaps you did not have libtool installed, such that the LT_INIT macro was not processed at all during autoreconf?

That must have been it. Iibtool was not installed.
