Hi Jan-Tarek,

Good point. Could you please file a bug about this?

There isn't much involved actually and it's usual free software cycle:

# Replace configure with autogen.sh if you are building from git
$ ./configure --prefix /usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-dbus-service-user=geoclue
$ make
$ sudo make install

Please keep in mind that geoclue being a system service, can't be
(easily) installed and ran from custom prefix so you'll be overwriting
your system-installed geoclue. Also you might need to check if your
distribution creates a 'geoclue' user. If it does not, please remove
the '--with-dbus-service-user=geoclue' part above.

Hope that helps.
