Make sure you have the latest version (0.34) of the dbus library - installed, including glib bindings. - - http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus - - -2. Compile gaim - - ./configure --enable-dbus - make - make install - - -3. Configure your dbus instalation for gaim - - A. Find your dbus session configuration file, usually - - /etc/dbus-1/session.conf - - B. In that file, find the <servicedir> section. This section - contains the directory that stores files describing services, - usually - - /usr/share/dbus-1/services - - C. Copy src/dbus-gaim.service to that directory - - D. Edit the dbus-gaim.service file you've just copied, and replace - the path in the "Exec=" line with the path to your gaim - executable. - - -4. Start Session DBUS if you haven't done it already - - eval `dbus-launch --session` - export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID - - These commands will set the two above shell variables. These - variables must be set before running any dbus-aware programs. - -Start gaim as usual. To communicate with it, use "gaim-send". When -you execute gaim-send, the dbus system will automatically start a gaim -process if one is not running already. -
