gnokii @ 0.6.31 - build failures

[woutgg (Wouter R.)]

Trying to install gnokii fails in the configure stage, missing p5-xml-parser. Installing that port allows it to reach the build stage, which then fails due to libtool missing symbols in a bluetooth related library (see attached build log). My OSX version is 10.9.2, Xcode 5.0.2.

Replying to webaccount@…:

fails due to libtool missing symbols in a bluetooth related library

This portion of the problem only occurs if you request the +bluetooth variant.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Attached is a patch that allows gnokii to build (without the +bluetooth variant) by

• reconfiguring using the upstream autogen.sh for compatibility with our intltool 0.51
• revision is incremented to ensure building with latest libical after recent changes in versioning scheme

Will commit if maintainer agrees to the changes.

Patch to fix build with intltool 0.51, libical

With respect to the +bluetooth issue, this is essentially a duplicate of #34162.

As pointed out in that ticket,

IOBluetoothDeviceOpenRFCOMMChannel
IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannelRegisterIncomingDataListener
IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannelWrite

were removed with no direct replacement in ​OS X 10.7

IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannelCloseChannel
IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannelGetDevice

were similarly removed in ​OS X 10.8

The +bluetooth variant should build on 10.6 or earlier (not verified) but, to work on 10.7+, the code would need to be rewritten using a more recent API.

Suggest removing the +bluetooth variant or at least disabling it on 10.7+.

Proposed changes committed in r142631, maintainer timeout. Bluetooth support now only offered for 10.6 and earlier. In addition license added and maintainer email obfuscated as per current practice.
