Link(s) for Windows ports of D-Bus ?
Ad
Hi there, on <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus> there is information about the "Windows port" of D-Bus and who has been working on it. However there is (are) no link(s) pointing to the Windows versions of D-Bus! Does anyone know of such links? Are there developer snapshots or (better for "regular" Windows users) installation packages) somewhere on the net? Preferably the versions that this fine group of people has been developoing? TIA, ---rony

Windows support was merged quite a long time ago, so the normal source-code tarball releases of D-Bus (as announced on this mailing list), and the git branches from which they're released, are meant to work on Windows. Sometimes they might not, but if they don't, that's a bug like any other, to be tracked in Bugzilla and fixed in a later release. The only official "upstream" D-Bus releases are the source code: we don't make binary releases, for any platform. On Linux, distributions like Debian and Fedora release binary packages derived from our source code, and we recommend that most people use the binary packages from their distribution. If anyone wants to provide semi-official binary releases for Windows on a similar basis, feel free to do so and link them on the wiki. For instance, the KDE on Windows initiative <http://windows.kde.org/> presumably releases Windows binaries of D-Bus (I don't know whether they apply special patches or configuration). GnuWin <http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/> doesn't seem to provide D-Bus binaries yet, but they could; Cygwin probably does; and so on. Regards, S

sent at least 2 mails about that problem, and I'm not alone thinking
that modifications must be done in order to use dbus on Windows.

You can find the binaries here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kde-windows/f... Configuration options and patches for each version you can find in the git repository: http://quickgit.kde.org/index.php?p=emerge.gi... Afaik we have no patches which are not included in 1.4.16 / gitHEAD Dbus binaries are also distributed with GPG4Win Regards, Andre
Dear all, thank you really very much for your insights and hints, which I really appreciate a lot! Will try to explore the Windows KDE-D-Bus as hinted by Andre Heinecke <http://sourceforge.net/projects/kde-windows/f...> and by Siraj Razick. The aim is to find somewhere a maintained D-Bus Windows binary which non-Linux-programmers (or non-C++-programmers) can download and install. Probably there is a need of some sort of a readme which explains on how to install and setup the Windows KDE version of D-Bus. ---ronyOn 15.03.2012 19:30, rony wrote: > on <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus> there is information about the "Windows port" of > D-Bus and who has been working on it. > > However there is (are) no link(s) pointing to the Windows versions of D-Bus!

package and become able to install it with a double-click.

Just some more information on that: our dbus binaries depend on the expat package at the same location. Even though those two are C libraries, there are per compiler packages, which you shouldn't mix if you don't know what you do. Available compilers are vc100=Visual Studio 10.0, x86-mingw4 (sezero mingw-w64 32 bit gcc), x64-mingw4 (sezero mingw-w64 64 bit gcc). The -bin packages contain all the binaries(.exes+dlls) and the required data files. The -lib packages contain headers & import libraries. The -dbg packages contain the stripped out symbol information for mingw and the .pdb files for Visual Studio. One thing you should be aware of is that our dbus binaries are restricted to requests from the directory where the dbus-daemon.exe is located. This is useful if you want to install your package more than once side by side and do not want any interaction between those two instances. *The downside is that you cannot have ipc between different directories, e.g. different modules installed side by side.* That said, if you have any questions you can always ask us on and #kde-windows on freenode irc. regards, Patrick> > ---rony > > _______________________________________________ > dbus mailing list > > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo... >
