This issue is more broad than just the polkit case and currently hinders
building and installing plasma-desktop locally without kdesrc-build, and I
assume this should affect any other KDE software that uses
KAUTH_HELPER_INSTALL_DIR.
There's a relevant mailing list thread about this:
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-core-devel/2020-October/091002.html
It is not possible to bypass this permission issue in any way. I tried with all
of these, none worked:
KAUTH_HELPER_INSTALL_DIR
INSTALL_BROKEN_KAUTH_POLICY_FILES
KAUTH_BACKEND_NAME
KAUTH_POLICY_FILES_INSTALL_DIR
KDE4_AUTH_POLICY_FILES_INSTALL_DIR
And I tried numerous combinations of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and DESTDIR in my
attempts to make this work for months, thinking this was perhaps some user
error on my side.
So currently the only ways of testing software that uses this KAuth feature
without kdesrc-build are:
* install everything as root, which is liable to break things
And assuming you actually know about this issue, what's happening in the
background and what to do with this cryptic error message:
* CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/local/path then sudo install, thus overriding the
package manager's installed files
* comment out the install line in the CMakeLists.txt that uses
KAUTH_HELPER_INSTALL_DIR
* compile KAuth together with the application one wants to compile
Use case: I was trying to self compile plasma-desktop just to work on a KCM
which isn't related and doesn't use KAUTH_HELPER_INSTALL_DIR anywhere.
