Looked at configure help, saw: Optional packages: ... --with-systemd build with support for systemd to me, this means systemd is optional and may be included using a 'with'. Conversely, one could use: --without-systemd which, in this configure, should have no effect (default is 'without'), right? I included the --without-systemd flag (as a future protection should the default change), but configure's output had: (relative numbers added for ref): 1. checking for syscall sched_getaffinity... SYS_sched_getaffinity 2. checking for syscall sched_setattr... SYS_sched_setattr 3. Package systemd was not found in the pkg-config search path. 4. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `systemd.pc' 5. to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable 6. No package 'systemd' found 7. checking that generated files are newer than configure... done Lines 3-6 suggest that I should add support for systemd so it can be built. Why does it even test for systemd when I specified '--without-systemd'? FWIW, configure finished but I haven't tried to build it yet. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
