Package libsystemd was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libsystemd.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libsystemd' found
gyp: Call to 'pkg-config --libs-only-l libsystemd' returned exit status 1 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp

The problem is that on Mint 17.3, the package libsystemd-dev doesn't exist, it's actually split up into systemct-*-dev packages:

Thanks for your report!

Yes, the guys from systemd merged all those libs to one somewhere between version 205 and 219. According http://packages.linuxmint.com/ you are using systemd 204 ;)

I've just seen that you patched the problem. :+1: Would you mind if I merge your fix back into my repository?

ianare commented 8 years ago

Yeah Mint is still on Ubuntu 14.04, so no nice systemd out of the box :-(

My patch fixes the build, but I haven't gotten it to work yet. When it's been tested OK I will submit a merge request.

Thank you a lot!
