A brief tutorial on installing Dbus-python

Write a Python script needs to use Dbus, but because Dbus-python this package does not provide setup.py, so can not be directly installed through the PIP, only download the source code manually compiled installation.

wget Https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/dbus-python/dbus-python-0.84.0.tar.gztar ZXVF DBUS-PYTHON-0.84.0.TAR.GZCD dbus-python-0.84.0

But there was something wrong in the process of./configure.

Configure:error:Package Requirements (dbus-1 >= 1.0) were not Met:no package ' dbus-1 ' Foundconsider adjusting the PKG _config_path environment variable if youinstalled software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables Dbus_cflagsand dbus_libs to avoid the need-to-call pkg-config. See the Pkg-config Mans page for more details.

This is obviously missing a dependent library

sudo apt-get install Libdbus-glib-1-dev

And then the installation will go smoothly.

./configuremakesudo Make Install
