<div dir="ltr">I still have this really strange problem and its makes me sort of sad. I've tried everything so far, I have started configure with   --with-system-socket=/tmp/.dbus.socket but anyway e.g dbus-monitor doesn't start with the error: Failed to open connection to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /opt/devel/toolchains/arm9/arm-linux/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory The same problem with dbus-daemon: Failed to start message bus: Failed to open "/opt/devel/toolchains/arm9/arm-linux/etc/dbus-1/system.conf": No such file or directory So somehow I can't get the prefix (which i have specified (--prefix= /opt/devel/toolchains/arm9/arm-linux) out of dbus.

Unfortunately this setting is also delegated to all paths dbus uses during runtime on my target system. e,g, the pid file, the service files, configuration and socket files they are all perpended with the path of prefix. I have to build a very light weight version of dbus. ./configure --help told me some options. But how can I e.g. disable all bindings? I only need the low-level C API. The only option I found so far in order to make dbus small was --with-X=no, are there any others? Nevertheless the lib is still almost 1 MB.
