Yes. The only part python related are the dbus-python bindings. The only reason you had to add --disable-python before was because the silly autoconf macro from Python called AM_PATH_PYTHON will bomb if it doesn't find python. > > http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dnicholson/blfs-dbus/general/dbus.html > > That is helpful.

I actually didn't touch the tests part, but I think what you've written would work. I saw that they do run the tests on Fedora and then run make clean, so apparently it's safe to do that. I haven't actually checked it out, though. http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/dbus/dbus.spec?view=markup > -- ruce Thanks for the comments, ruce :) -- an -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
