Hello all, I'm running Gentoo ~amd64 and attempting to install gnome. I was having an issue with installing AccountsServices due to it not being able to find Systemd. It turns out that the configure.ac is looking for libsystemd-login. I was able to work around this issue by using pkgconfig and creating a libsystemd-login.pc file using the libsystemd.pc. I know this is due to systemd >= 209 rolling all of that into a single library, and AccountsService hasn't updated itself properly. Is there any way, until upstream fixes it, to create the .pc files for the old libsystemd-* files that are required? I know that was a conversation that was had on the ML, but I don't know if anything has been done for it. Thanks.
Can you provide the concrete build.log with the failure? Thanks
Umm, we likely need this upstream patch: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/patch/?id=3b2ff77f18746fbd2b7538c659bc8eb6211859b0
It's funny, but I made a patch file with that exact thing in it, popped it into the files directory in Portage and modified the ebuild to epatch it, but it still wouldn't build. I might have had something configured incorrectly, but it kept erroring out during configuration because Systemd was explicitly required, but it couldn't find it.

That's because it only patched configure.ac without eautoreconf. Try the patch from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584686 instead.
