butt and dbus feature (just curious)

[Per Gunnarsson]

Hello!

I have been trying to port butt (broadcast using this tool by Daniel
Noethen) to FreeBSD.

It's a live streamer for icecast, and there is a feature in the
application which works on Linux which I have failed to get working on
FreeBSD.

The feature I am trying to get working is that the application picks up
metadata (artist name and song name) from a media player and forwards it
to the icecast server.

This is somehow done by dbus.

When I compile butt on FreeBSD, configure seens to find dbus and
compiles, but the application doesn't seem to find any mpris connected
media players.

Do you think I can get away with just adjusting som flags or do I have
to learn serious programming to get it working?

from configure.ac:

#Add dbus library for Linux
if test "$build_linux" = "yes"; then
        AC_MSG_NOTICE([])
        PKG_CHECK_MODULES([DBUS], [dbus-1], [
                AC_DEFINE([HAVE_DBUS], [1], [Use dbus to get current
tracks])
                LIBS="$LIBS $DBUS_LIBS"
                CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $LIBS $DBUS_CFLAGS"
                CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS $DBUS_CFLAGS"
        ], [
                AC_DEFINE([HAVE_DBUS], [0], [Use dbus to get current
tracks])
                AC_MSG_ERROR([**** Coud not find dbus dev files])
        ])
fi


#Add dbus library for FreeBSD (just copied and pasted from linux in
order to make things compile)

if test "$build_freebsd" = "yes"; then
        AC_MSG_NOTICE([])
        PKG_CHECK_MODULES([DBUS], [dbus-1], [
                AC_DEFINE([HAVE_DBUS], [1], [Use dbus to get current
tracks])
                LIBS="$LIBS $DBUS_LIBS"
                CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $LIBS $DBUS_CFLAGS"
                CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS $DBUS_CFLAGS"
        ], [
                AC_DEFINE([HAVE_DBUS], [0], [Use dbus to get current
tracks])
                AC_MSG_ERROR([**** Coud not find dbus dev files])
        ])
fi

Do I have to play around with src/currentTrack.h and create a
src/currentTrackFreeBSD.cpp too?
