It works like that: 1) if --without-systemdsystemunitdir is provided, systemd units are not installed, 2) if --with-systemdsystemunitdir=... is provided, systemd units are installed in specified directory, 3) if none of the above is provided, systemd checks for its pkgconfig file and grabs the directory from there. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
