Description Theppitak Karoonboonyanan 2009-05-04 13:40:04 UTC 
libunique fails to build outside source tree, with following error:

---8<---
Making all in dbus
make[4]: Entering directory `/home/thep/build/gnome_git/libunique-1.0.8/unique/dbus'

The uniquebackend-dbus.xml is in srcdir, and is not immediately available when referencing from builddir when builddir != srcdir.

Comment 2 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2009-06-14 10:02:53 UTC 
this should have been fixed slightly differently in commit:

  f6b609721d86ef2edaf1edd976032a557fbc7c1a

by using "$(srcdir)/uniquebackend-dbus.xml" instead.
