User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/colord
There should be a dedicated user and group to take control of the
colord daemon after
it is started. Issue the following commands as the root
user:
groupadd -g 71 colord && useradd -c "Color Daemon Owner" -d /var/lib/colord -u 71 \ -g colord -s /bin/false colord
Install Colord by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-daemon-user=colord \ --enable-vala \ --disable-bash-completion \ --disable-static && make
Now, as the root
user:
make install
To test the results, make sure you have installed Valgrind-3.10.0 and issue: make -k check. Some tests may fail for unknown reasons. Note that system-wide D-Bus daemon must be running or the tests will fail.
--with-daemon-user=colord
:
This switch is used so the colord daemon will run as an
unprivileged user instead of root
user.
--enable-vala
: This switch
enables building of the Vala bindings. Remove if you don't have
Vala-0.24.0 installed.
--disable-bash-completion
:
This switch disables Bash
Completion support for Colord apps.
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-gtk-doc
: Use this switch if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to build and install the API documentation.
--disable-gusb
: Use this switch if you
don't have libgusb installed.
--disable-gudev
: Use this switch if you
don't have GUdev installed.
--disable-polkit
: Use this switch if
you don't have Polkit installed.
