Subject: bug#17508: 24.3.91; Emacs without dbus support and unclear error message.
Date: Fri, 16 May 2014 13:23:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a9aidl2d.fsf@geodiff-mac3.ulb.ac.be> (raw)

When emacs is compiled --without-dbus and one runs:

emacs -Q -l notifications --eval '(notifications-notify :title "foo" :body "bar")'

the error is cryptic:

Error: (void-variable dbus-message-type-method-call)

I would in fact expect (require 'dbus) to give an error when no dbus
support is available.

(This happened to me because I had not installed dbus-1-dev prior to
recompiling emacs.)
