This is a fatal error, it will try dbus-daemon in $PATH as below.

So dbus-daemon found in $PATH but fail to start due to the above error.

Please use DESTDIR variable, for example.

$ ./autogen.sh
$ make DESTDIR=/home/vincent/target/rootfs install

the default prefix is "/usr/local", you can overwrite it by specify
"--prefix=" like below

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=
$ make DESTDIR=/home/vincent/target/rootfs install

For details about DESTDIR, please check
