[yocto] Trying to compile mono on target for machine crownbay

[autif khan]

Here is a recipe that I using to generate a custom SDK image which I
can use to natively compile mono on the target.

require recipes-sato/images/core-image-sato-sdk.bb
IMAGE_INSTALL += "bison libtool"
PR="r0"

bison is required and I added libtool because it was being generated
by mono's autoconf (./configure) script and gave the following error:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `=/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la' or
unhandled argument `=/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la'

If I understand correctly, yocto has a special libtool which
understands how to handle '=/path/to/lib'

The problem is that it looks like 'libtool' is not included in the
image. I do have the libtool recipe in meta/recipes-devtools/libtool

The libtool version generated by mono was 2.2.6b

The libtoolize version in the image is 2.4 (automake 1.11.1, autoconf 2.68)

Am I doing something wrong? If not, where is the 'libtool' in the image?

Thanks

Autif
