Description Ralf Habacker 2011-10-30 13:25:39 UTC

Version:           4.7.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                MS Windows

With recent kde buildsystems there are problems with installed pathes of dbus services installed in <install-root>/share/dbus-1/services

The kde-runtime dbus service org.kde.knotify.service contains the build time install path, which is normally not the runtime install path. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install at least kde-runtime using kdewin installer, open a command shell and run: 

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName string:org.kde.knotify uint32:0

Actual Results:  
The service is not started and the following error message will be printed 

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program c:/kde/build/bin/knotify4: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

Expected Results:  
The service should be started indicated by the following printed message 

method return sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.1 reply_serial=2
   uint32 1

The solution is to use a relative path for the dbus service executable path. 

This require a fix of the related service cmake buildsystem. 

This error may affect all KDE dbus services installed on windows and it not bound to kde-runtime only.

Installing whole kde 4.7.0 windows msvc release shows the following services: 

c:\Program Files\kde-4.7.0-vc100\>dir share\dbus-1\services
30.10.2011  14:29                77 org.freedesktop.Akonadi.Control.service
30.10.2011  14:29                49 org.kde.kget.service
25.10.2011  17:36                58 org.kde.knotify.service
30.10.2011  14:29                55 org.kde.krunner.service
30.10.2011  14:30                57 org.kde.kuiserver.service

These services belongs to the following packages: 

c:\Program Files\kde-4.7.0-vc100\bin>grep Akonadi.Control ..\manifest\*.mft
..\manifest\akonadi-vc100-1.6.0-bin.mft
