Compile error with systemd "ln doesn't support --relative"

Hi All,

I'm trying to compile a build of the latest LibreELEC source, but I'm getting an error about ln not supporting --relative.

The system that's building the source is using Linux Mint 17.3.

I don't like the idea of having to upgrade ln from the default for the build and I've never had to previously.

It seems that the error is being generated by the move to systemd version 233.

Is there a patch or solution that I'm not aware of that will allow the compile to continue?

There's no mention of any requirements in the build environment for ln or any of the core utilities.

Any help would be great,

Thanks,

B

Well I figured out what was going wrong and why the error was appearing to be something from the past...

I recently installed Mint 17.3 on a server. It (unknown to me) rebooted and reverted to it's previous version, 13.

That's why it's seeing the really old dependency not being met.

My big stupid!

Regards,

B.
