libsystemd-daemon

Hello to everyone,

I am trying to build strongSwan from AUR and arrive at the following error instead:

configure: error: Package requirements (libsystemd-daemon) were not met:
No package 'libsystemd-daemon' found

[...]

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

I have libsystemd installed. From my perspective it looks like recently libsystemd stopped providing the necessary lib. I also suspect this would be solved by installing libsystemd-git, but I am unsure as whether it's the best solution.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
David

Re: libsystemd-daemon

These libraries are now all merged in a single libsystemd file.
The package has to be patched to ./configure with libsystemd instead of libsystemd-{daemon,journal)

Re: libsystemd-daemon

Thanks, @progandy, I solved the problem. If anyone's interested, here's a temporary way to overcome this problem (it's a mess, but it works).

First, if the package fails to install, you end up with a bunch of unpacked files in the working directory. Delete the original $pkg-$ver.tar.bz package file and create an empty $pkg-$ver.tar.bz (so the already unpacked won't get overwritten when makepkg unpacks it). Change src/strongswan-$ver/configure file: replace libsystemd-{journal,daemon} with libsystemd.

Make the package.
