Installation of D-Bus GLib

Install D-Bus GLib by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr                  \
            --sysconfdir=/etc              \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib/dbus-1.0 \
            --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check. Note that more comprehensive tests can be run by following the same method used in D-Bus instructions, which requires building the package twice.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.
