Package Information

D-Bus GLib Dependencies

Required

dbus-1.16.2 and GLib-2.86.1

Optional

GTK-Doc-1.35.1

Installation of D-Bus GLib

Install D-Bus GLib by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr     \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check. Note that more comprehensive tests can be run by following the same method used in D-Bus instructions, which requires building the package twice.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.
