I repeat that almost everyone who builds glib will want to build
dbus before building glib, and hopefully the build order I posted
earleir might be useful. But I grepped for dbus in the current
glib source and among many irrelevant results were the following:
./gio/tests/meson.build:# Check for libdbus1 - Optional - is only used in the
GDBus test cases
./gio/tests/meson.build:# 1.2.14 required for dbus_message_set_serial
./gio/tests/meson.build:dbus1_dep = dependency('dbus-1', required : false,
version : '>= 1.2.14')
./gio/tests/meson.build:if not dbus1_dep.found()
./gio/tests/meson.build: dbus1_dep = cc.find_library('dbus-1d', required :
false)
./gio/tests/meson.build: dbus1_dep = cc.find_library('dbus-1', required :
false)
So it appears that dbus is still optional as far as glib is
concerned, so the book is correct in marking it as optional.
