Compilation 1.16.5 on Centos7 fails

[urban-it-solutions]

I ran configure without any flags. I have the following systemd-devel-packet installed:
systemd-devel-219-73.el7_8.9.x86_64

compilation with make fails with this error:

/usr/bin/ld: src/monitor/monitor.o: undefined reference to symbol 'sd_notify@@LIBSYSTEMD_209'
//usr/lib64/libsystemd.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Hi,

could you please:

1. provide output of grep "SYSTEMD_DAEMON_LIBS =" Makefile (as of now)
2. check if explicit ./configure --with-syslog=journald helps to work around the issue?

[urban-it-solutions]

Hi,
thx for the immediate reply!

grep "SYSTEMD_DAEMON_LIBS =" Makefile
SYSTEMD_DAEMON_LIBS =

2. still the same error

regards

What is the result of grep "SYSTEMD_DAEMON_LIBS =" Makefile if you configure with --with-syslog=journald?

What is the output of ldconfig -p | grep libsystemd?

I made a mistake in Point 2. Now with --with-syslog=journald I get

SYSTEMD_DAEMON_LIBS = -lsystemd

and the compilation works! Thanks a lot!

Ok, glad to hear you can work around the issue now.

But ./configure --help:

  --with-syslog=SYSLOG_TYPE
                          Type of your system logger (syslog|journald).
                          [syslog]

-- default is syslog and IIUC SSSD shouldn't link with systemd at all in this case...

FWIW, it builds fine with defaulf value of with-syslog on latest RHEL7
