leptonica @1.84.1: libtool version mismatch error

[jmarshallidau]

Mac Mini M2 2023 macOS 14.4

Build fails with multiple instances of the following in the log file. The version of libtool installed is @2.4.7_1. Full log file is attached.

:info:build libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-14, but the
:info:build libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.7.
:info:build libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-14
:info:build libtool: and run autoconf again.

Thank you for maintaining this port!

We have received other reports of this in other ports. There appears to be a bug with the 15.3 version of the Xcode command line tools. See comment:ticket:69467:6. So workarounds are to downgrade to the 15.2 version or follow the instructions in comment:ticket:69467:2.

Couldn't find version 15.2 of the Command Line Tools on the Apple Developer site, so downgraded to 15.1. All built fine after the downgrade. Thank you!

Oh, you're right, I don't see a 15.2 either. Glad that worked.

In 48589c81916ab6bd8fa2d696a8b7a49d8c751dd6/macports-ports (master):

libtool: Use MacPorts m4

Fixes build of many ports that use libtool when using Xcode 15.3 in
which m4 is not included.

Closes: #69467
Closes: #69481
Closes: #69493
See: #69471

Reverses a previous decision not to use MacPorts m4 except on Tiger:

See: #47545

as it was already reversed in autoconf:

See: #62411

Apple notified me that they fixed it in Xcode CLT 16 beta 3 and I verified it seems to be fixed in 16 beta, 16 beta 2, and 16 beta 3.
