Building a working DBus & QtDBus on Windows

[Ogden, Nick]

I've now managed to create a working D-Bus and QtDBus setup. It turned out to be the very silly issue of not having the dbus-1.dll in my path resulting in Qt failing to load the library. Always the little things huh! ;)

Thank you very much for your help and thanks for all your hard work on KDE.

Regards,
Nick

You could just use emerge for this which is a really nice tool to build for
windows and contains a lot of knowledge about how to compile software.
Even for kde unrelated projects.

Recently we switched to dbus-1.4.10 where we only have one tiny patch against
it so that it compiles with msvc 2010, everything else is upstream sources.

To avoid conflicts between multiple dbus-installations we use the install-path
scope which may be a problem with your installation that your dbus and
qdbusviewer are not in the same scope.

Our configure options are:
"-DDBUS_BUILD_TESTS=OFF "
"-DDBUS_ENABLE_XML_DOCS=OFF "
"-DDBUS_USE_EXPAT=ON "
"-DDBUS_REPLACE_LOCAL_DIR=ON "
"-DDBUS_ENABLE_VERBOSE_MODE=OFF "
 "-DDBUS_DISABLE_ASSERTS=ON "
"-DDBUS_SESSION_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS:STRING=autolaunch:scope=install-path "

Regards,
Andre
