| |
| REQUIREMENTS: |
| Linux kernel >= 2.6.39 |
| with devtmpfs |
| with cgroups (but it's OK to disable all controllers) |
| optional but strongly recommended: autofs4, ipv6 |
| dbus >= 1.4.0 |
| libcap |
| PAM >= 1.1.2 (optional) |
| libcryptsetup (optional) |
| libaudit (optional) |
| libacl (optional) |
| libselinux (optional) |
| liblzma (optional) |
| tcpwrappers (optional) |
| |
| When you build from git you need the following additional dependencies: |
| |
| docbook-xsl |
| xsltproc |
| automake |
| autoconf |
| libtool |
| intltool |
| gperf |
| gtkdocize (optional) |
| python (optional) |
| make, gcc, and similar tools |
| |
| During runtime you need the following dependencies: |
| |
| util-linux > v2.18 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s) |
| sulogin (from sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended) |
| dracut (optional) |
| |
| When systemd-hostnamed is used it is strongly recommended to |
| install nss-myhostname to ensure that in a world of |
| dynamically changing hostnames the hostname stays resolveable |
| under all circumstances. In fact, systemd-hostnamed will warn |
| if nss-myhostname is not installed. Packagers are encouraged to |
| add a dependency on nss-myhostname to the package that |
| includes systemd-hostnamed. |
| |
| Note that D-Bus can link against libsystemd-login.so, which |
| results in a cyclic build dependency. To accommodate for this |
| please build D-Bus without systemd first, then build systemd, |
| then rebuild D-Bus with systemd support. |
| |
| WARNINGS: |
| systemd will warn you during boot if /etc/mtab is not a |
| symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that /etc/mtab is a |
| proper symlink. |
| |
| systemd will warn you during boot if /usr is on a different |
| file system than /. While in systemd itself very little will |
| break if /usr is on a separate partition many of its |
| dependencies very likely will break sooner or later in one |
| form or another. For example udev rules tend to refer to |
| binaries in /usr, binaries that link to libraries in /usr or |
| binaries that refer to data files in /usr. Since these |
| breakages are not always directly visible systemd will warn |
| about this, since this kind of file system setup is not really |
| supported anymore by the basic set of Linux OS components. |
