If `Type=notify` is set then `USE_SYSTEMD` must be provided at build time, yes. But as I outlined before: The Type must *also* match the configuration (because whether the alternatives work correctly depends on whether `daemon` is set or not). > not really cool, especially for users who want to replace their distro's > binary without having to modify the settings.

Is it possible to modify the unit file depending on the build flags? Then I absolutely agree that `Type=notify` should be taken out if `USE_SYSTEMD` is not set. See my sibling mail for another suggestion to avoid the "silent failure" when `USE_SYSTEMD` is not provided. Best regards Tim Düsterhus
