build script, autogen.sh, fails

[z160896]

Basic Information

I followed the Tesseract build instructions, installed all requirement packages. When I run autogen.sh, it breaks with this problem:

Running aclocal
Running /opt/local/bin/glibtoolize
glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'config'.
glibtoolize: copying file 'config/ltmain.sh'
glibtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'.
glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4'
Running aclocal
Running autoconf
Missing pkg-config. Check the build requirements.

Something went wrong, bailing out!

in the autogen.sh script:

if grep -q PKG_CHECK_MODULES configure; then

The generated configure is invalid because pkg-config is unavailable.

rm configure
echo "Missing pkg-config. Check the build requirements."
bail_out
fi

do you know where is PKG_CHECK_MODULES defined?
I installed pkg-config:
tesseract % pkg-config --version
0.29.2

how can I fix this problem:
Missing pkg-config. Check the build requirements.

Something went wrong, bailing out!

@zdenop how about these steps on MacOS, following the instruction here, https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Compiling.html#macos:

==> Pouring libomp--15.0.7.ventura.bottle.tar.gz
==> Caveats
libomp is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because it can override GCC headers and result in broken builds.

For compilers to find libomp you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/libomp/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/libomp/include"

==> Summary
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/libomp/15.0.7: 7 files, 1.6MB
==> Running brew cleanup libomp...
Disable this behaviour by setting HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP.
Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see man brew).

I do not have a MacOS, but there is no problem to build tesseract from source - see relevant github action log and workflow file.

Hopefully somebody with MacOS 13 will explain what is wrong with your setup.
