Vincent, carry the discussion over to the
mingw...@lists.sourceforge.net list for help with that.

well, the main problem is that dbus does not work on Windows (at least
when compiled with the autotools. I don't use cmake). Otherwise, doing the
package is easy.

I've had no trouble executing the dbus configure script. I did have
to modify the source of one of the files with a #ifndef __MINGW32__
... #endif pair but configure wasn't an issue. However, we brought
this here because of your volunteering to contribute a package
deliverable by mingw-get. What do you mean by "does not work on
Windows"? Give a better description please.

First, i don't know much about dbus stuff itself, so I asked, some months
ago, how to check that dbus is really working. It compiles
flawlessly (except the warnings i mentioned), but it fails at
runtime. Someone told me to do that to check if dbus is working :
launch in an MSYS terminal:
dbus-daemon --session
and in another :
dbus-monitor
And on my computer, 'dbus-monitor' fails with:
Failed to open connection to session bus: Failed to get autolaunch address from launched dbus-daemon
