Any suggestion or temporary workaround? This problem breaks the installation of texlive (and hence also my Latex engine).

[mcmara (Jack McMara)]

Workaround to install texlive without tesseract (see #69822):

port install dvisvgm-devel -mupdf
port install texlive

[markemer (Mark Anderson)]

I've updated Tesseract to the latest version. Can you give it another try?

[mcmara (Jack McMara)]

It builds now on the aforementioned Intel machine. Thank you for the update. Please note that my macports version has been bumped to v2.10.1 since opening this ticket.

Fixed in commit 81cc67a on ​PR 25552
