Hi, systemd (not only systemd-libs) needs to be added as a makedepend - otherwise the logid.service file is not generated and installed as CMake does not find it:

-- Checking for module 'systemd'
--   Package 'systemd', required by 'virtual:world', not found

You can check by building the package in a clean chroot, e.g. using extra-x86_64-build.

I prefer respecting the user's MAKEFLAGS if possible, or just defaulting to one core if not. Some users (like me) may not want to see the performance spike associated with taking all cores just on compiling this, and imo it's better to be safe than sorry.

EDIT: looks like you can set CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL if you want to change the number of cores. This is overriden by -j, so it's better to not use the flag in order to allow for easier user customization.

Pass -j $(nproc) to cmake to make it build using all cores

@MithicSpirit Fixed this in the last commit, didn't notice it did this, thanks.

Can you please fix this package installing to /usr/local? It is not allowed according to the wiki.

Additional make dependencies required: base-devel (which should pull make, gcc and pkgconf).

Also, the ipcgull submodule is not checked out, and it's also not in the source code archive from github.

On my system the build fails without patching the PKGBUILD file as cmake generates a Ninja build system by default (due to some configuration on my part). I would appreciate if you could apply one of below changes to fix this issue.

You shouldn't assume cmake creates a make based build system by default. Instead you should explicitly specify -G "Unix Makefiles" OR (even better) use cmake --build . to build and DESTDIR="$pkgdir" cmake --install . to install. The latter changes make sure cmake invokes the correct build system.

Please update this package if possible.

I recently installed this package but found my customisations weren't applied on startup; required a sudo systemctl restart logid to work properly. I took a look at the unit file and found that it's wanted by multi-user.target, which explains why. I changed it to graphical.target and the issue is fixed.

I checked back and found that this issue has already been addressed in commit 5947cc939eed6891e8008943c9538e662f4218ae, but AUR only hosts an older version, so all that's required is an update.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, please add systemd to makedepends, otherwise the build fails with the following error:
