Dear all
My well-intentioned changes to unbreak the building of the OS X builds for
5.4.0 have apparently had unexpected consequences. After reviewing the
situation, I've created https://codereview.qt-project.org/101843 to fix the
issues (note: updates for Windows pending). Once that one is in 5.4 and merged
to 5.5, I'll submit another fix for 5.5 changing the configure behaviour.
configure option: Qt 5.4.0 Qt 5.4.1 Qt 5.5†
none configure1 runtime configure2
-dbus runtime runtime configure2
-dbus-linked linked linked linked
--dbus=runtime runtime runtime runtime
-no-dbus disabled disabled disabled
Explanation:
* runtime: dynamically open libdbus-1 at runtime
* linked: link to libdbus-1
* configure1: check at configure time if libdbus-1 is present in the system
and then enable "runtime" mode
* configure2: check at configure time if libdbus-1 is present in the system;
if it is, enable "linked" mode, otherwise "runtime"
In other words: starting with Qt 5.4.1, QtDBus will be enabled FOR ALL BUILDS.
The library is safe enough in dynamic mode that it will simply say that it
could not connect to the bus or peer, so it should not be a problem to have it
present.
†: unless we get the rewrite to drop libdbus-1 requirements in time for 5.5,
but I think it's unlikely. Maybe Qt 5.6.
