Configuring systemd to build systemd-tempfiles in Yocto

Sorry if this question is covered elsewhere, but a couple of days of googling and experimentation has failed to find a solution and hopefully someone in this list can give me some pointers.

 

I am trying to configure an Open Embedded Yocto Linux build based round systemd version 249.7, however the resulting image is missing a number of binaries in the /usr/bin directory, specifically systemd-tmpfiles which is present on my Ubuntu 20.04 build machine.

 

I believe there should be parameters you can pass at build to configure what is generated, but I am struggling to find any documentation as to what they are and how you pass them to Meson / Ninja.

 

If I run systemd --version I get the following on Ubuntu

 

systemd --version

systemd 245 (245.4-4ubuntu3.15)

+PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS

+ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD +IDN2 -IDN +PCRE2

on this on Yocto
