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 \ --disable-bash-completion \ --disable-systemd-login \ --disable-static && make Now, as the root user: make install To test the results, issue: make -k check. For unknown reasons, one test (cd-self-test) fails. Note that system-wide D-Bus daemon must be running or the tests will fail. --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. --disable-bash-completion: This switch disables Bash Completion support for Colord apps. --disable-systemd-login: This switch prevents configure to look for Systemd libraries since Systemd is not part of LFS or BLFS. --disable-gusb: Use this switch if you don't have libgusb installed. --disable-gudev: Use this switch if you don't have GUdev installed. --disable-polkit: Use this switch if you don't have Polkit installed. --libexecdir=/usr/lib/colord: This option creates a colord directory in /usr/lib instead of putting the program's private programs into /usr/libexec in accordance with the old version of the FHS used before LFS-7.5.
