If it works, I'll merge that branch. (In reply to comment #1) > If it works, I'll merge that branch. Merged in git based on positive feedback on the mailing list, will be in 1.1.2.

Instructions for building dbus-python for windows with mingw
I've attached the instructions to follow to build dbus-python for windows.
But there are still some issues, although I think they are with dbus, and not dbus-python.
Steps to reproduce:
>>> import dbus # this works, yay!
>>> session_bus = dbus.SessionBus() # this does start the daemon
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "c:\mingw\msys\1.0\local\lib\site-packages\dbus\_dbus.py", line 211, in __new__
return Bus.__new__(cls, Bus.TYPE_SESSION, private=private, mainloop=mainloop)
File "c:\mingw\msys\1.0\local\lib\site-packages\dbus\_dbus.py", line 100, in __new__
bus = BusConnection.__new__(subclass, bus_type, mainloop=mainloop)
File "c:\mingw\msys\1.0\local\lib\site-packages\dbus\bus.py", line 122, in __new__
bus = cls._new_for_bus(address_or_type, mainloop=mainloop)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Failed to get autolaunch address from launched dbus-daemon
System config: see below
Created attachment 64472 [details]
updated instructions for dbus-python, dbus and dbus-glib
add `--with-dbus-session-bus-default-address=autolaunch:` so that dbus works on ms-windows out of the box
Created attachment 64557 [details] version 1.1 updated directions to install dbus-python on windows Remove makefile.patch for dbus-glib/dbus/examples, since not needed. The issue was with GTK setenv.cmd, not dbus-glib, added my comment to existing GTK issue 677470 [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677470]. Do **not** use quotes in MS-Windows PATH environment variable. |
