I keep getting errors like this

error: patch failed: contrib/src/harfbuzz/rules.mak:23
error: contrib/src/harfbuzz/rules.mak: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0013 contrib/harfbuzz: fix iOS compilation when CoreText is enabled
The copy of the patch that failed is found in:
/Volumes/Ganesh Data/VLCSourceTv/VLCKit/MobileVLCKit/ImportedSources/vlc/.git/rebase-apply/patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

Do you happen to know what went wrong here?
