ubuntu 20.04 file and folder /etc/sysusers.d/kodi-standalone.conf not found about kodi-standalone-service

[graysky2]

The Makefile does not install to that directory, it installs to /usr/lib/sysusers.d/kodi-standalone.conf and that should work just fine.

ok but if you want it to install you must first create this folder

/usr/lib/sysusers.d/

because on ubuntu by default this folder does not exist

in other words before your line install you must put a line mkdir

your error comes from you put an install

without putting mkdir before normal that its not installed

your mistake it comes from

INSTALL_DIR = mkdir -p

and no

INSTALL_DIR = $(INSTALL) -d

its an error have used mkdir to create a folder and not install

it's because of this that it's not installing the

install is to copy a folder and not to create it

I'm confused. The required command should be install -p -d /usr/lib/sysusers.d no? That is what the Makefile is doing now: https://github.com/graysky2/kodi-standalone-service/blob/master/Makefile#L41

Here is an example installed to a directory that does not exist at all:

% make DESTDIR=tit install  
install -p -d "tit/usr/lib/udev/rules.d"
install -p -d "tit/usr/lib/systemd/system"
install -p -d "tit/usr/share/man/man1"
install -p -m644 x86/doc/kodi.service.1 "tit/usr/share/man/man1/kodi.service.1"
install -p -d "tit/etc/conf.d"
install -p -d "tit/usr/lib/sysusers.d"
install -p -m644 x86/udev/99-kodi.rules "tit/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-kodi.rules"
install -p -d "tit/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d"
install -p -m644 common/kodi-standalone "tit/etc/conf.d/kodi-standalone"
install -p -m644 x86/init/kodi-gbm.service "tit/usr/lib/systemd/system/kodi-gbm.service"
install -p -m644 x86/init/kodi-wayland.service "tit/usr/lib/systemd/system/kodi-wayland.service"
install -p -m644 x86/init/kodi-x11.service "tit/usr/lib/systemd/system/kodi-x11.service"
install -p -m644 x86/init/tmpfiles.conf "tit/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/kodi-standalone.conf"
install -p -m644 x86/init/sysusers.conf "tit/usr/lib/sysusers.d/kodi-standalone.conf"
