Qt QtDBus compilation

To add DBUS to Qt compilation, add following switch

./configure -opensource -dbus ....

If you get following error:

The QtDBus module cannot be enabled because libdbus-1 version 0.93 was not found.
Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to ./configure to see the final report.
If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue
switch (-continue) to ./configure to continue.

It’s necessary to install libsbus:

sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libdbus-1-3 is already the newest version.

and also developer package:

sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-dev

Now everything should work correctly.
