Net::DBus::GLib =============== Net::DBus::GLib provides a Perl XS API to the dbus glib bindings. Currently it performs integration with the glib main loop context. For more information on dbus visit the project website at: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ This version operates against DBus 0.33, through 1.1.2 and probably later versions, if there have been no serious API changes. It works against dbus-glib 033, through 0.73 and probably later versions. INSTALLATION ------------ To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test sudo make install The makefile calls the C script to determine the correct flags to pass to the compiler & linkers when building the XS part of the module. Thus, ensure pkg-config is in a directory listed by the $PATH environment. The pkg-config program will likely find the DBus install in /usr provided by the base OS distribution, so if testing against an alternate install of DBus, set the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable before generating the Makefile. For example, if your dbus installation is in C<$HOME/usr/dbus-cvs-tip> , then to build and install against this version of DBus do export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/usr/dbus-cvs-tip/lib/pkg-config perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME/usr/dbus-cvs-tip make make test make install DEPENDENCIES ------------ This module requires the following: Net::DBus Glib dbus-glib And to run the test suite: Test::More Test::Pod (optional, but recommended) Test::Pod::Coverage (optional, but recommended) Although they are not part of the base Perl distribution, most OS distributor will already provide addon packages containing these modules. Failing this, they are all available from CPAN http://search.cpan.org/ EXAMPLES -------- There are a number of example programs in the examples/ subdirectory demonstrating use of the high level application developer APIs. example-service.pl - Providing a simple service example-client.pl - Talking to a remote service CONTRIBUTIONS ------------- Contributions both simple bug fixes & new features are always welcome. Please supply patches in context, or unified diff format. A simple method to generate such a patch is as follows: * Clean out generated files from your working directory: make distclean * Rename your working directory to have '-new' extension: mv Net-DBus-GLib-0.33.0 Net-DBus-GLib-0.33.0-new * Extract a pristine copy of the source: gunzip -c Net-DBus-GLib-0.33.0.tar.gz | tar xf - mv Net-DBus-GLib-0.33.0 Net-DBus-GLib-0.33.0-orig * Generate the patch: diff -ruNp Net-DBus-GLib-0.33.0-orig Net-DBus-GLib-0.33.0-new \ > Net-DBus-GLib-0.33.0-[something].patch gzip Net-DBus-GLib-0.33.0-[something].patch Send the resulting to .patch.gz file directly to Daniel Berrange Copyright (C) 2006-2008 Daniel Berrange Net-DBus-GLib may be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of Perl itself.
