Description Wang Xin 2007-01-09 11:30:52 UTC 
There are some incompatible problems of awk on Solaris which cause evolution can not recognize the dbus whose version is newer than 1.0.0 correctly. So evolution will use wrong dbus api and crash. We should use nawk if possible because it's more incompatible.

The previous one is wrong.
Comment 3 Wang Xin 2007-01-10 02:47:56 UTC 
Or we could just use this one:

pkg-config --modversion dbus-1|sed -e s/[^0-9]//g|awk '{print 10 * $1}'
Comment 4 Damien Carbery 2007-02-14 18:21:24 UTC 
Patch 79845 works for me. I get DBUS_VERSION=1000 for dbus-1 1.0.2.

Looks fine.
