bug#4186: 23.0.91; Can not compile CVS Emacs on Debian old-stable (dbus problem)

[Matthieu Moy]

Hi,

Short version: whether I enable dbus or not, newest Emacs fails to
compile on my system.

Longer version:
With the same configuration I used to succeed in compiling Emacs on my
machine, I now get this error at link time:

dbusbind.o: In function `xd_remove_watch':
/home/moy/local/usr/src/emacs/src/dbusbind.c:766: undefined reference to `dbus_watch_get_unix_fd'
/home/moy/local/usr/src/emacs/src/dbusbind.c:768: undefined reference to `dbus_watch_get_socket'
dbusbind.o: In function `xd_add_watch':
/home/moy/local/usr/src/emacs/src/dbusbind.c:741: undefined reference to `dbus_watch_get_unix_fd'
/home/moy/local/usr/src/emacs/src/dbusbind.c:743: undefined reference to `dbus_watch_get_socket'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Fine, I thought, my dbus is too old, I don't need it, I'll disable it.
But compiling with --without-dbus, it doesn't work either:

Wrote /net/bauges/local/moy/usr/src/emacs.git/lisp/net/tramp-ftp.elc
Compiling /net/bauges/local/moy/usr/src/emacs.git/lisp/net/tramp-gvfs.el
Loading tramp...

In toplevel form:
../../lisp/net/tramp-gvfs.el:101:1:Error: Symbol's function definition is void: dbus-init-bus
make[2]: *** [...] Error 1

Reproducible with a fresh checkout.

Ideally, Emacs should be tought not to use inexisting functions in
libdbus, but at least, fixing the build with --without-dbus should be
done.

Thanks in advance,

This happens since this revision below (thanks to 'git bisect' ;-) ).
Reverting it fixes the problem for me. I guess the important part was
the

  (when (and (featurep 'dbusbind) (not (featurep 'dbus)))

which got lost in the process.

Both functions have been added in D-Bus 1.1.1. I've committed a fix,
which checks the availability of these functions.

If you read carefully, my bug report is about NOT being able to
compile Emacs. Which probably explains why I'm not posting from this
version of Emacs ;-).

Great job, Emacs compiles both --with and --without-dbus now.

Thanks a lot!
