Attempting to compile D-Bus for ARM but encountering an error.

I use NFS to boot ARM board and load file-system from a directory "/home/make/root_nfs" on PC.

  1. Building D-Bus from sources on PC(ubuntu10.10):

    ./configure --prefix=/home/make/dbus --exec-prefix=/home/make/dbus CC="arm-linux-gcc" --host=arm-linux --with-x=no --cache-file=arm-linux.cache

    make

    make install

  2. Copying D-Bus's bins, libs and other dependencies from "/home/make/dbus" into their corresponding directories under "/home/make/root_nfs/".

  3. Rebooting the ARM board to load the root fs from my host PC "/home/make/root_nfs".

  4. In arm linux:

    Trying: dbus-launch

    Failed to execute message bus daemon /home/make/dbus/bin/dbus-daemon: No such file or directory. Will try again without full path.

    Failed to start message bus: Failed to open "/home/make/dbus/etc/dbus-1/session.conf: No such file or directory *EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon*

    Trying: dbus-daemon --system

    Failed to start message bus: Failed to open "/home/make/dbus/etc/dbus-1/system.conf": No such file or directory

It seems that all the Path's have been hardcoded into program.

Changing "--prefix" or "--exec-prefix" in configuration of D-Bus does not work.

I do not want to "mkdir -p /home/make/root_nfs/home/make/root_nfs" on PC and make the arm linux treat the second level root_nfs as correct path.

Can anyone give some suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

configure --prefix and --exec-prefix option are usually use to configure path for runtime

You have to use DESTDIR parameter for make:

./configure CC="arm-linux-gcc" --host=arm-linux --with-x=no --cache-file=arm-linux.cache
make
make DESTDIR=/home/make/dbus install
