Issue the following commands as the root user: groupadd -g 71 colord && useradd -c "Color Daemon Owner" -d /var/lib/colord -u 71 \ -g colord -s /bin/false colord Install Colord by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-daemon-user=colord \ --enable-vala \ --enable-systemd-login=no \ --disable-argyllcms-sensor \ --disable-bash-completion \ --disable-static \ --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no && make Now, as the root user: make install To test the results, issue: make -k check. For unknown reasons, some tests may fail. Note that system-wide D-Bus daemon must be running or the tests will fail. Command Explanations --with-daemon-user=colord: This switch is used so the colord daemon will run as an unprivileged user instead of root user. --enable-vala: This switch enables building of the Vala bindings. Remove if you don't have installed. --enable-systemd-login=no: This parameter fixes building without systemd, which is not part of LFS/BLFS. If you use systemd, replace "no" by "yes". --disable-argyllcms-sensor: Disables ArgllCMS sensor driver. --disable-bash-completion: This switch disables Bash Completion support for Colord apps. --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no: Disables attempting to build with systemd libraries. : Use this switch if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to build and install the API documentation. : Use this switch if you don't have libgusb installed. : Use this switch if you don't have GUdev installed. : Use this switch if you don't have Polkit installed.
