Colord-1.2.12
Introduction to Colord
Colord is a system activated
daemon that maps devices to color profiles. It is used by

Installation of 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 \
--enable-systemd-login=no \
--disable-argyllcms-sensor \
--disable-bash-completion \
--disable-static \
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=no &&
make
Now, as the root
user:
make install
To test the results, issue: make -k
check. For unknown reasons, some tests may fail.
Note that the system-wide D-Bus
daemon must be running or the tests will fail.
Command Explanations
--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-0.36.4 installed.
--enable-systemd-login=no
:
This parameter fixes building without systemd, which is not part of LFS/BLFS. If you
use systemd, replace "no" by
"yes".
--disable-argyllcms-sensor
:
Disables ArgllCMS sensor driver.
--disable-bash-completion
:
This switch disables Bash
Completion support for Colord apps.
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=no
:
Disables attempting to build with systemd 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-udev
