Linking Cups with dbus broken

The linking of Cups with dbus does not work (any more). ARM11 target with March 17th snapshot, dbus is 1.1.1 :

------------------------snip--------------------------------- subscriptions.o: In function `cupsd_send_dbus':
buildroot/build_arm/cups-1.3.5/scheduler/subscriptions.c:1334: undefined reference to dbus_message_append_iter_init' buildroot/build_arm/cups-1.3.5/scheduler/subscriptions.c:1336: undefined reference to dbus_message_iter_append_string' buildroot/build_arm/cups-1.3.5/scheduler/subscriptions.c:1339: undefined reference to dbus_message_iter_append_uint32' buildroot/build_arm/cups-1.3.5/scheduler/subscriptions.c:1340: undefined reference to dbus_message_iter_append_string' -------------------------snap--------------------------------

The linker correctly finds the dbus libraries, but a grep/objdump confirmed that the symbols are not in the dbus libraries. Might need to bump the version?

CUPS is automatically selected when building X, is that really necessary?

cheers,

CUPS shouldn't be getting selected by X, it is a dependency for the gtk printing backend. But anyway, I don't know if the latest cups version even supports the latest dbus. Unless you need some new feature of dbus, I would just roll the dbus version back. If you are using gtk, there is probably a way to disable the print backend so cups isn't required.
