Running The Sample on Linux and Windows

[thehoglet]

Thanks for the demo -- it was helpful getting started with Qt + D-Bus. On my systems, it didn't work out of the box...

On Ubuntu 23, there was one missing build dependency: $> sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

On Windows 10:

1. Install the expat library: C:\...\> vcpkg install expat

2. Get D-Bus source from https://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/

3. Build D-Bus starting with:

   C:\...\> cmake -B .\build -S . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path to vcpkg>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake

4. Run D-Bus with:

   C:\...\> .\build\bin\release\dbus-daemon.exe --config-file=.\build\bus\session.conf

5. In the demo, implement import/export for common component as detailed here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/sharedlibrary.html

6. Run the demo, making sure to allow the Qt binary to find dbus-1.dll (and libexpat.dll) created in step 3.

Fun exercise!
