3ede835a0486f2ecc025dede0b33e9a1edc06d30Lennart Poettering When you build from git you need the following additional dependencies:
c1c8ca815bb1ef040c0a84cccd51282e4ce8f4deKay Sievers vala >= 0.10
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering make, gcc, and similar tools
3ede835a0486f2ecc025dede0b33e9a1edc06d30Lennart Poettering During runtime you need the following dependencies:
c1c8ca815bb1ef040c0a84cccd51282e4ce8f4deKay Sievers util-linux > v2.18 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s)
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering sulogin (from sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended)
3ede835a0486f2ecc025dede0b33e9a1edc06d30Lennart Poettering plymouth (optional)
3ede835a0486f2ecc025dede0b33e9a1edc06d30Lennart Poettering dracut (optional)
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering systemd will warn you during boot if /etc/mtab is not a
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that /etc/mtab is a
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering proper symlink.
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering systemd will warn you during boot if /usr is on a different
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering file system than /. While in systemd itself very little will
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering break if /usr is on a seperate partition many of its
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering dependencies very likely will break sooner or later in one
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering form or another. For example udev rules tend to refer to
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering binaries in /usr, binaries that link to libraries in /usr or
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering binaries that refer to data files in /usr. Since these
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering breakages are not always directly visible systemd will warn
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering about this, since this kind of file system setup is not really
21bc923aa35d455cdef1607eb7022608c705c9f3Lennart Poettering supported anymore by the basic set of Linux OS components.
