As far as I'm aware D-Bus itself (i.e. the bus) is not needed for building, only the libraries are, so I expect you can use a newer dbus package and build with it without problems. I don't know what that would mean for running the resulting build. > Nevertheless, many distros that distribute this fabulous > office suite that is LibreOffice do their own kde4 integration, so I > assumed that the generic builds are good for QA and for folks doing > computer archeology. And I'd encourage this. Some of the fixes I've done in the KDE4 integration code work much better with recent Qt4/kdelibs4 versions, so distributions should build with whatever Qt4/kdelibs4 packages they have. -- Lubos Lunak l.lu...@suse.cz _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
