[Buildroot] Linking Cups with dbus broken

[Buildroot] Linking Cups with dbus broken

[Christian SCHWARZ]

The linking of Cups with dbus does not work (any more). ARM11 target 
with March 17th snapshot, dbus is 1.1.1 :

------------------------snip---------------------------------
subscriptions.o: In function `cupsd_send_dbus':
buildroot/build_arm/cups-1.3.5/scheduler/subscriptions.c:1334: undefined 
reference to `dbus_message_append_iter_init'
buildroot/build_arm/cups-1.3.5/scheduler/subscriptions.c:1336: undefined 
reference to `dbus_message_iter_append_string'
buildroot/build_arm/cups-1.3.5/scheduler/subscriptions.c:1339: undefined 
reference to `dbus_message_iter_append_uint32'
buildroot/build_arm/cups-1.3.5/scheduler/subscriptions.c:1340: undefined 
reference to `dbus_message_iter_append_string'
-------------------------snap--------------------------------

The linker correctly finds the dbus libraries, but a grep/objdump 
confirmed that the symbols are not in the dbus libraries. Might need to 
bump the version?

CUPS is automatically selected when building X, is that really necessary?

cheers,
Christian

CUPS shouldn't be getting selected by X, it is a dependency for the gtk
printing backend. But anyway, I don't know if the latest cups version even
supports the latest dbus. Unless you need some new feature of dbus, I would
just roll the dbus version back. If you are using gtk, there is probably a
way to disable the print backend so cups isn't required.
