libtool @2.4.6_0 does not build with Tiger's M4

Reported by: csanchezdll Owned by: larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.3.3
Keywords: tiger Cc:
Port: libtool

Description

libtool @2.4.6 requires m4 1.4.6 or higher (1.4.16 or higher recommended) but m4 version included with Tiger is 1.4.2. I think it would be better to include a dependency with m4 port instead of just checking for a present m4 binary.

In the future, please fill in the Port field with the port name and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers libtool), if any.

I want to keep libtool’s dependencies to an absolute minimum, but I’m fine with adding that dependency for Tiger.

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
