I don't put anything on the pages that was not tested. I mention that if you install some prereqs differently or mixed with homebrew there were problems. I am also running these build our phone system. In fact, I updated 10.8 yesterday on it and all seems well. However, not all modules are tested on the running system since I don't use every part of FS. I do use LUA a lot. As for building, the wiki is 100 percent accurate.

>> Hence we're back to the old requirement on GNU libtool of forcing it to be named glibtool, by running ./configure --program-prefix=g & make & make install.
>> 
>> If anyone's seeing a make/link error on v8, check that GNU libtool is built in /usr/local/lib ONLY as glibtool and glibtoolize - if libtool's in there, you will have a problem as it will eclipse the sys libtool and doesn't understand the -static that v8's Make is calling.

>> The wiki "Installation on OS X alternatives" page needs fixing anyway to spell out the required --program-prefix=g for libtool, and has an odd comment on not having libtool fom Lion onwards.
>> 
>> BTW -- if the Wiki is correct and Lion doesn't have a system libtool at all, that could be a problem -- without system libtool, build should work most of the time with GNU libtool, but v8 won't.
>> I don't have a Lion machine, and ML & Mav (and SL) all have /usr/bin/libtool (so that Wiki text needs some kind of update).
>> 
>> Q: Could someone with Lion confirm which libtool, please (whether or not /usr/bin/libtool exists)?
