8.3.9.1 Error: ‘required file `./ltmain.sh' not found’
......................................................

Libtool comes with a tool called ‘libtoolize’ that will install
libtool’s supporting files into a package.  Running this command will
install ‘ltmain.sh’.  You should execute it before ‘aclocal’ and
‘automake’.

   People upgrading old packages to newer autotools are likely to face
this issue because older Automake versions used to call ‘libtoolize’.
Therefore old build scripts do not call ‘libtoolize’.

   Since Automake 1.6, it has been decided that running ‘libtoolize’ was
none of Automake’s business.  Instead, that functionality has been moved
into the ‘autoreconf’ command (*note Using ‘autoreconf’:
(autoconf)autoreconf Invocation.).  If you do not want to remember what
to run and when, just learn the ‘autoreconf’ command.  Hopefully,
replacing existing ‘bootstrap’ or ‘autogen.sh’ scripts by a call to
‘autoreconf’ should also free you from any similar incompatible change
in the future.
