User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/accountsservice
First, fix an issue in the systemd unit that causes runtime issues:
sed -i '/PrivateTmp/d' data/accounts-daemon.service.in
Install AccountsService by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-Dadmin_group=adm \
.. &&
ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dadmin_group=adm: This
switch sets the group for administrator accounts.
-Ddocbook=true: This switch enables
building the D-Bus interface API documentation.
To allow users in the adm group to be listed as Administrators,
execute the following commands as the root user:
cat > /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/40-adm.rules << "EOF"
polkit.addAdminRule(function(action, subject) {
return ["unix-group:adm"];
});
EOF
