Thanks for your answer. I was using windbus both precompiled and
also compiled by myself using mingw. If compiling manually,
windows-patch.diff is applied automatically (I checked it and it was
applied). So, I was doing exactly what you have written except of
applying qt-qdbus-win32.patch.

Regarding qt-qdbus-win32.patch, it is little bit screwed because it
patches all files but qdbus.pro (there is incorrect path,
tools/qdbus/qdbus.pro instead of tools/qdbus/tools/qdbus/qdbus.pro).
This patch "just" modifies *.pro files to
reference dbus includes and libs, still not accepting environment
variable DBUSDIR. It does not solve those "undefined reference to
_RTC_CheckEsp" errors during linking.

Btw. this patching step should be stated on wiki or maybe this could be
committed to kdesvn qt-copy/tools/qdbus.

Still, I'll try to overcome those linking problems. Anyway, if someone has any
suggestions they are welcome :-)
