apr-util cannot find db48 on Sonoma with XCode 15.4

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

I've built apr-util on Sonoma previously, but getting a new machine going and building from source gets this and doesn't seem to find db48 even though it's installed:

Looks like it built fine on the build bot the last time it was updated (since there are binary packages for Sonoma). We just need to figure out if it’s something unique to your system or an update to Sonoma (or code) and then work up a patch for it.

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

There's been a number of packages that have errors building and I've been address them (look for my recent commits). It could also be a XCode update, for example, procmail no longer compiles without a patch [bd2c11b59e573ca95a1f80a229a08967d6db8733/macports-ports].

Yes, implicit int is an error in Xcode 15.3 and later.

Probably need to see the config.log.

The tiny change to build/dbm.m4 that you would expect fixes this, does indeed fix it.

I'll get a fixed port submitted shortly (we should probably also consider using newer bdb, but I've been avoiding thinking about the license change implications post-oracle acquisition).
