  36 REQUIREMENTS:
  37         Linux kernel >= 2.6.39
  38                 with devtmpfs
  39                 with cgroups (but it's OK to disable all controllers)
  40                 optional but strongly recommended: autofs4, ipv6
  41         dbus >= 1.4.0
  42         libcap
  43         PAM >= 1.1.2 (optional)
  44         libcryptsetup (optional)
  45         libaudit (optional)
  46         libacl (optional)
  47         libselinux (optional)
  48         liblzma (optional)
  49         tcpwrappers (optional)

  51         When you build from git you need the following additional dependencies:
  52
  53         docbook-xsl
  54         xsltproc
  55         automake
  56         autoconf
  57         libtool
  58         intltool
  59         gperf
  60         gtkdocize (optional)
  61         python (optional)
  62         make, gcc, and similar tools
  63
  64         During runtime you need the following dependencies:
  65
  66         util-linux > v2.18 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s)
  67         sulogin (from sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended)
  68         dracut (optional)
  69
  70         When systemd-hostnamed is used it is strongly recommended to
  71         install nss-myhostname to ensure that in a world of
  72         dynamically changing hostnames the hostname stays resolveable
  73         under all circumstances. In fact, systemd-hostnamed will warn
  74         if nss-myhostname is not installed. Packagers are encouraged to
  75         add a dependency on nss-myhostname to the package that
  76         includes systemd-hostnamed.
  77
  78         Note that D-Bus can link against libsystemd-login.so, which
  79         results in a cyclic build dependency. To accommodate for this
  80         please build D-Bus without systemd first, then build systemd,
  81         then rebuild D-Bus with systemd support.
  82
  83 WARNINGS:
  84         systemd will warn you during boot if /etc/mtab is not a
  85         symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that /etc/mtab is a
  86         proper symlink.
  87
  88         systemd will warn you during boot if /usr is on a different
  89         file system than /. While in systemd itself very little will
  90         break if /usr is on a separate partition many of its
  91         dependencies very likely will break sooner or later in one
  92         form or another. For example udev rules tend to refer to
  93         binaries in /usr, binaries that link to libraries in /usr or
  94         binaries that refer to data files in /usr. Since these
  95         breakages are not always directly visible systemd will warn
  96         about this, since this kind of file system setup is not really
  97         supported anymore by the basic set of Linux OS components.
