Title: dbus-1 From Where?
Post by: rabbit on April 27, 2006, 08:23:50 PM
Trying to compile Gaim Beta 3.  I need dbus-1 aparently, as I get the following:
Quotechecking for DBUS... Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'dbus-1' found
no
checking location of the D-Bus services directory... configure: error: D-Bus services directory was not found!  Please use --with-dbus-services and specify it's location.
I searched for it and only got a lot of informational pages.  Anyone know where I can grab it?

First search on Google:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus
"The latest release is dbus-0.61.tar.gz (http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-0.61.tar.gz). (2006-02-24)"

Freerock Gnome Slackware package:
http://www.software-mirror.com/linuxpackages/FreeRock-Gnome/frg-2.12.1/frgnome/platform/dbus-0.50-i486-3frg.tgz

You could also disable dbus no?

Dunno how to compile with it disabled :\
Anyway, I tried to download from the first link yesterday, but it never loaded.  Thanks.

./configure --help ?
It'll probably be something like ./configure --disable-dbus

Yeah, that's a new requirement for Gaim2beta3.  The easiest way is to install dbus, which is a pretty quick and painless install. 

To find it, have you tried googling it (http://www.google.ca/search?q=dbus)?  The first result is their main page (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus) which links to the newest version (http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-0.61.tar.gz).

Yeah, it's all installed and everything now.  Like I said, I tried Googling it and got their main page, but for whatever reason the download never started, that's why I asked.
