I think you also need libtool from apt.

this does not help on fedora 40

[dg0yt]

@LangerDov It doesn't need to help on Fedora 40. The original post explicitly mentioned "apt".
git grep libtool ports will give more inspiration.

[LangerDov]

I’m not sure that this can help, but still, I’ve been racking my brains for the last week with installing SDL2 on Linux.
I tried to install it on Ubuntu (wsl 22.04.4 LTS), Fedora and Arch and ran into problems every time. On Arch and Ubuntu, installing jinju2 in pip helped me, but on Fedora I still haven’t found any solution and the whole process crashes on the libxcrypt build.
I looked at the error log and the Python script crashed out of the blue in the same place, as if there was an invisible broken symbol, I tried to edit that line, but did not get a positive result.

[dg0yt]

@LangerDov Open your own issue, with a proper report.

Thanks! You are right. Now libxcrypt builds as well.

Perhaps not the place to raise this, but it would be great if each port would have a convenient way of listing all the packages we need to install from the os package manager.
