Getting Started/Build/Windows/Building DBus

    From KDE TechBase

    Be sure you've installed win32libs!

    Download the latest winDBus sources (which are already patched) and extract them into "C:\svn\windbus" or get the latest svn sources.

    cd c:\svn\windbus
    patch -p0 < DBus-win32.patch
    cd ..
    mkdir windbus-build
    cd windbus-build
    cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" ..\windbus\cmake\
    

    (use -G "Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003" for the older compiler)

    dbus.sln solution file will be created. Build and install the Debug and Release builds with the IDE. You can switch between the Debug and Release configuration in the Build -> Configuration Manager menu.

    Tip: to perform compilation and installation from the command line, type:

    devenv /build Debug /project INSTALL dbus.sln
    devenv /build Release /project INSTALL dbus.sln
    

    Default target for the installation is %PROGRAMFILES%\dbus.
