configure.ac.in still has: AC_PATH_PROG([DBUS_BINDING_TOOL], [dbus-binding-tool]) AS_IF([test -z "$DBUS_BINDING_TOOL"], [ echo '*** The program "dbus-binding-tool" is required to build.' exit 1 ]) However, I don't seem to be able to find any reference to this tool elsewhere. Furthermore, xfce4-notifyd builds fine when passed DBUS_BINDING_TOOL=/bin/false.
Hi Michał, yes I think you're right. This was simply overlooked in the past. dbus-binding-tool is for dbus-glib, whereas notifyd has already been ported to gdbus (the successor of dbus-glib).
