Bug 23093 – FreeBSD portability fixes
There are a few issues with building polkit-0.93 on FreeBSD:
* No clearenv() function on FreeBSD
* While FreeBSD has a /proc, it is deprecated, and kinfo_proc should
be used instead.
* FreeBSD's printf() functions do not support the %m notation. This
is only supported for syslog().
* You can't call GINT_TO_POINTER() on a 64-bit value, as this will
break on 64-bit OSes.
The attached patch fixes these problems. First, a check for
clearenv() is added to configure. Second, I moved the check for
process uid to polkit/polkitunixprocess.c. This may not be ideal, but
it seems to fit, and reduces code duplication. Third, I replaces all
%m with %s ... g_strerror (errno). Finally, I replaced
GINT_TO_POINTER() with GSIZE_TO_POINTER.
