sdbus-c++

sdbus-c++ is a C++ API library for D-Bus IPC, based on sd-bus implementation.

Building and installing the library

The library is built using CMake:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS_IF_NECESSARY}
$ make
$ sudo make install

By default, the library builds its unit and integration tests. That incorporates downloading and building static libraries of Google Test. Use -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF configure flag if you want to disable building the tests.

By default, the library doesn't build the code generator for adaptor and proxy interfaces. Use -DBUILD_CODE_GEN=ON flag to also build the code generator.

Dependencies

• C++17 - the library uses C++17 std::uncaught_exceptions() feature. When building sdbus-c++ manually, make sure you use a compiler that supports that feature.
• libsystemd - systemd library containing sd-bus implementation. Systemd v236 at least is needed for sdbus-c++ to compile.
• googletest - google unit testing framework, only necessary when building tests, will be downloaded and built automatically

Licensing

The library is distributed under LGPLv2.1 license.
