libmypaint: configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

[iefdev (Eric F)]

I'm installing gimp, and it stopped at libmypaint.

intltool says it need the XML::Parser

:info:configure checking for perl... /opt/local/bin/perl
:info:configure checking for perl >= 5.8.1... 5.26.3
:info:configure checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

:info:configure Exit code: 2

All deps of intltool are installed/active:

I think this one could be related: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/3338/files/0c7bed25e3b274dc688ca441818d193cbcaa03c4 It sets “pbranch” to 5.28. With perl5 installed with the default variant (+perl5_26), 5.28 doesn't get picked up even if it's installed.

:info:configure checking for perl >= 5.8.1... 5.26.3

After:

sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants perl5 -perl5_26 +perl5_28

…it built fine.

I don't know if I should've done that when I installed 5.28, I have both perl5.{26,28} - but, if “pbranch 5.28” was set… Maybe it should look for perl5.28 instead of just perl?

This is the same old intltool.m4 bug that we patched and reported years ago and still hasn't been so much as acknowledged by upstream: ​https://bugs.launchpad.net/intltool/+bug/1197875

The solution is to autoreconf to pick up our fixed version.

libmypaint: autoreconf to fix intltool brokenness

Closes: #58012

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

#60130 appears to be a regression of a similar problem, where the fix to this bug is no longer effective.
