How to ensure that libdbus-sys compiles with X11 for dbus-daemon autolaunch on build about dbus-rs

Could you show your systemd unit file?
Not sure exactly how systemd does things but I suspect x11 is not the way here.

Sure @diwic , good point, maybe I don't really want to access DBus through X11 in a systemd service, that might be more appropriate for something run under my windowed session...heres my unit file:

[Unit]
Description=This program monitors dbus for messages and makes a connected USB device react to them

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/my-outputted-bin

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

it is pretty simple.

[diwic]

So; this looks like a system service rather than a session service, right? Can you double check that you're connecting to the system bus and not the session bus? You will not have a session bus in multi-user.target.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @diwic ! I actually did mean to make a session service but I wasn't as familiar with systemds options for setting one up. I've familiarized myself and all is working as expected now. Super appreciate you!
