policykit @0.113+docs fails in patch phase on ppc leopard (10.5.8)

[zzanderr]

The logfile is attached. It's a bit disconcerting that no one else has reported this problem yet. Is the patch failure related to the +docs variant?

Replying to zanderpower@…:

No it's specific to leopard and earlier. Will take a look.

Fix committed in r138298. This removes the offending patch which is no longer required and fixes a minor configuration issue that prevented the API docs from being installed when using the +docs variant.

I don't have a test machine for leopard so please confirm whether this fixes your issue so I can close the ticket. Thanks for the report.

That fix does remove the offending patch. However, there is an additional problem:

Undefined symbols for architecture ppc:

"_getline", referenced from:

_read_cookie in polkit_agent_helper_1-polkitagenthelperprivate.o

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture ppc

getline() was only introduced to OS X in Lion so this will break the build on Snow Leopard and earlier.

Patch committed in r138310 that provides a private copy of getline() for platforms that need it. Again, I'm not able to test this so please let me know if it works for you. Thanks.

policykit built and installed without a hitch. As I only use policykit because emacs depends on it, I can only assure you that emacs appears to work. If there is any specific procedure(s) you want me to try with policykit, let me know.

Thanks for your work!

Thanks for your testing as well. I also got a private email from another user that it works on 10.6.8 so I think we are good for now.
