You shouldn't add libdbus- util.la to modlibexec_LTLIBRARIES, because it already is added to it when D-Bus is enabled. Apparently in your build D-Bus is not enabled, and the build system doesn't know how to build libdbus-util.la, so compilation fails. I don't know why the instructions contain this part, it doesn't make any sense. -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk
