We'll have to figure out how we want ot present this:

wget  http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/dbus-1.4.16.tar.gz
tar -xf dbus-1.4.16.tar.gz
cd dbus-1.4.16
./configure --enable-tests --enable-asserts
Full test coverage (--enable-modular-tests=yes or --enable-tests=yes) 
requires dbus-glib

---------

But the D-Bus GLib Bindings require D-Bus to be installed.  The required 
sequence appears to be:

Install D-Bus
Install D-Bus Glib Bindings
Go back to D-Bus to test.

The current D-Bus Glib Bindings appear to be:

dbus-glib-0.98.tar.gz   30-Sep-2011

But I'm not sure what 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DBusBindings is saying when it 
says:

"D-Bus support in GLib

Since version 2.26, GLib includes a D-Bus binding. This is intended to 
replace the DBus-GLib bindings and many applications have started 
migrating their code. See the documentation for the high-level and 
low-level API for more details.

DBus-GLib (obsolete)

New GLib applications should use the D-Bus support built into GLib. See 
above."

Since we are using GLib-2.30.1, these statements do not appear to be 
consistent.  A review on my build log indeed shows a lot of references 
to gdbus and a man page for gdbus.

Comments?
