I've upgraded udev on a LFS 12.1-sysv VM to 256 and there seems no issue.

I think you would find that a full build fails. The logic at line 1983 of meson.build has changed. The file <build-directory>version.h built from src/version/version.h.in is unusable. It would depend on what systemd parts you build; in my build the first error occurs in src/boot/efi/boot.c.

I have the following sed to work around this, where $(VERSION) is equal to 256. I am confident a more elegant fix will emerge.

sed -i "s/VERSION_TAG \"@VCS_TAG@\"/\"$(VERSION)\"/g" src/version/version.h.in

Replying to Marty Jack:

A full build is fine for me.

$ ninja version.h -v

#define GIT_VERSION VERSION_TAG ""

It looks correct as VERSION_TAG is defined to "256" in config.h.

Are you using the same meson version as the book (1.4.1)?

It would depend on what systemd parts you build; in my build the first error occurs in src/boot/efi/boot.c.

LFS and BLFS don't have packages to support systemd-boot, thus this file shouldn't be compiled at all.

Fixed at commit 58180415d.
