Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &systemd-md5sum; Download size: &systemd-size; Estimated disk space required: &systemd-buildsize; Estimated build time: &systemd-time; Systemd Dependencies Required , , and Optional Dependencies (see note below) Optional for rebuilding manual pages , , , and (for rebuilding UDev API docs) Optional Runtime Dependencies and Having the first two packages at build time results in: libgudev-1.0.so in /usr/lib, /usr/include/gudev-1.0 directory, GUdev-1.0. {typelib,gir} GObject-Introspection bindings in /usr/lib/girepository-1.0 and /usr/share/gir-1.0 respectively. Since GLib2 has a dependency on Python, systemd Python bindings were also installed in: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/systemd Having the Linux-PAM package at build time results in: pam_systemd.so in /lib/security, a PAM module used to register logins/logouts with systemd-logind component. This is required by anything that now requires ConsoleKit (desktops, mostly), as well as some other software. User Notes: First, re-build systemd: sed -i "s:blkid/::" $(grep -rl "blkid/blkid.h") && patch -Np1 -i ../systemd-&systemd-version;-compat-patch; && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-rootprefix= \ --with-rootlibdir=/lib \ --enable-split-usr \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/systemd-&systemd-version; && make First prevent a few broken test cases from being run: sed -i s:test/udev-test.pl::g Makefile For full test coverage, the test suite should be run from a system booted using systemd. To test the results, issue: make -k check. Installing the package will override all systemd components installed in LFS, so it is advised that the re-installation is done in a rescue mode with no programs except basic systemd ones running. To enter rescue mode with systemd, issue this as the root from a VT console: systemctl start rescue.target Now re-install as the root user: make install Move NSS myhostname library to /lib as the root user: mv -v /usr/lib/libnss_myhostname.so.2 /lib Remove an unnecessary directory as the as the root user: rm -rfv /usr/lib/rpm Remove a reference to a non-existent group as the root user: sed -i "s:0775 root lock:0755 root root:g" /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/legacy.conf If libxslt was present, the man pages were also installed by make install. If not, the old man pages will remain and there's no need to reinstall them since the same version of systemd was used. The same goes for the sysv compatibility links. WARNING do NOT run the systemd-machine-id-setup command again, UUID was generated once and as its name says, it should be unique. Generating a new one might result in broken logs from journald and who knows what else. If libgcrypt was present at build time, make sure you move both libgpg-error and libgcrypt versioned libraries to /lib so that they are available in case of separate /usr by issuing the following commands as the root user: mv -v /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.* /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so.* /lib && ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so) /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so && ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so) /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so If the pam_systemd.so PAM module was built, the system-sesion PAM file needs to be modified and a new file needs to be created in order for systemd-logind to work correctly. Create the configuration file by issuing the following commands as the root user: cat > /etc/pam.d/system-session << "EOF" # Begin Systemd addition session optional pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_systemd.so # End Systemd addition EOF && cat > /etc/pam.d/systemd-user << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/systemd-user account required pam_access.so account include system-account session required pam_env.so session required pam_limits.so session include system-session auth required pam_deny.so password required pam_deny.so # End /etc/pam.d/systemd-user EOF At this point it would be a nice idea to reboot, or rather restart the systemd components in case of new dependencies as the root user: systemctl daemon-reexec && systemctl restart systemd-logind systemd-journald systemd-udevd --with-root*: These switches ensure that core programs and shared libraries are installed in the subdirectories of the root partition. --enable-split-usr: This switch ensures that systemd will work on systems where /bin, /lib and /sbin directories are not symlinks to their /usr counterparts.
