p5.28-libapreq2 build failure

[murrayE]

Using MacPorts 2.6.99 under macOS Big Sur 11.1 with Xcode CLT 12.4, I installed mod_perl2 @2.0.11_0+perl5_28. Now I am trying to install p5.28-libapreq2 and get a build error.

The main.log (attached) reports undefined symbols:

(Needless to say, p5-libapreq2 is crucial for using with apache2.)

The well-known macOS 11+ libtool bug. We probably just need to patch this port's configure script with the same patch that we already applied to the libtool port.

p5-libapreq2: Fix the macOS 11+ libtool bug

Closes: #62213

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I committed that without testing since it is known to fix the problem in other ports, but it doesn't appear to have fixed it for this port.

p5-libapreq2: More macOS 11+ libtool fixes

Closes: #62213

Indeed, the fix, if that's what's reached me via a port sync command, does NOT fix the problem with p5.28-libapreq2. New main.log attached.

I've already fixed the problem with the second commit and the build succeeded.

Wait an hour after my commit, then sudo port sync and sudo port clean p5.28-libapreq2 and try again.

Building p5.28-libapreq2, and hence p5-libapreq2 works now (at least with MacPorts 2.6.99 and Xcode CLT 12.4). Thank you!
