libcap
+ libblkid >= 2.20 (from util-linux) (optional)
+ libkmod >= 5 (optional)

+ make, gcc, and similar tools
+
+ During runtime you need the following additional dependencies:
- When you build from git you need the following additional dependencies:
+ util-linux >= v2.19 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s)
+ sulogin (from util-linux >= 2.22 or sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended)
+ dracut (optional)
+
+ When building from git you need the following additional dependencies:
docbook-xsl
xsltproc
automake
autoconf
libtool
+ intltool
gperf
- 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)
- plymouth (optional)
- dracut (optional)
+ gtkdocize (optional)
+ python (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
+ dynamically changing hostnames the hostname stays resolvable
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.
+ if nss-myhostname is not installed.
Note that D-Bus can link against libsystemd-login.so, which
- results in a cyclic build dependency. To accomodate for this
+ 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.

+ To run systemd under valgrind, compile with VALGRIND defined
+ (e.g. ./configure CPPFLAGS='... -DVALGRIND=1'). Otherwise,
+ false positives will be triggered by code which violates
+ some rules but is actually safe.
