Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question ...
Is it possible to compile gimp with dbus support without having to
use dbus-lauch to launch it ?
d-bus support only makes sense if you are on a desktop that already
runs
a session bus. The GNOME desktop environment for example provides
this.
So if that is not the case for you, then you should probably compile
without d-bus support.
We might not have tested this good enough. Are there any problems
running an executable that is compiled with d-bus support on a desktop
without a session bus?
My problem is, in fact, thatI don't really know dbus and how it
works, but I maintain gimp for macports and I usually try to go with
the app's default settings.
Now, if I get it right, it should work if, for example, I am running
gimp inside a dbus-launched gnome-session ?
I do have a dbus-daemon running but it does not seem sufficient. I get
yves$ gimp-2.4
process 16616: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed
to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/opt/local/var/lib/dbus/machine-
id": No such file or directory
So I replaced the gimp symlink with a little script that just does
"dbus-launch gimp-2.4" but I am considering to make dbus an option
rather than a default in macports.
Do you have an opinion about this ?
Thanks
yves
