Nothing node-opus can fix here.

You need a working libtool to compile Node.js native components. I don't know where that comes from on OSX. You might want to google for libtool unrecognized option static.

Thanks for the feedback. Looking into that now..

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/libtool
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  365786 Dec 14  2017 /usr/local/bin/libtool
$ ls -l /usr/bin/libtool

As long as you use the /usr/bin/libtool it'll install fine. So this workaround fixed it for me:

$ export PATH=/usr/bin/:$PATH
$ npm install node-opus -D
