Error compiling unbound with enable-systemd

Unbound
1

Hi Team,

I am trying to compile unbound 1.8.3 with enable-systemd. Though we have libsystemd installed, I am getting error configure: error: systemd enabled but libsystemd not found

Could you please help knowing the cause.

Also, by enabling systemd, does it means it is going to enable systemctl commands by having a systemd unit.

Command: ./configure --enable-systemd --enable-cachedb --with-pthreads --with-libhiredis

rpm -ql systemd-libs-219-62.el7_6.3.x86_64

Hi Yogesh,

The error means that PKG_CHECK_MODULES failed to get systemd for
configure. So pkg-config did not work for it. Perhaps the devel (or
-dev) package is not installed for it? Or pkg-config is not?

The systemctl commands work anyway. The integration signals server
readiness via the systemd API to systemd. But stuff like start and stop
of the server is going to work fine, also without that type of (more
detailed) status information available. Of course that needs the
systemd unit, which is not installed by Unbound; that is something for
the packager (because everyone has a different set up), there are
examples in contrib/ dir of the source, or find packages for your system
for how to do that part.

Best regards, Wouter
