One practical question:
I end up with -server-bindings.h building up the array of remote functions available. But then those are not defined there and I need to add an #include of the header where they are.
… and I need to do that every time I run make. Am I missing anything?

Hello, thanks for the tutorial. I had to make a change to the Makefile.am snippet to make it work.

Instead of:
@sed -e “s|@bindir@|$(bindir)|” $<> $@

I used:
@sed -e “s|\@bindir\@|$(bindir)|” $ $@

or else the actual sed command that is executed is:

sed -e “s|/usr/bin|/usr/bin|” $ $@

Nice review, but I am still not getting things to work.
I seem to havea problem with security policy. This tutorial
would have helped better if security policies were covered,
or a link to this topic was included. On my system this stuff
is in /etc/dbus-1/system.d.

With dbus-glib-0.71, dbus-binding-tool is not generating OBJECT_TYPE_SERVER and SERVER_OBJET_GET_CLASS.
The problem now is implementing the “glib object emulation”. In other word, how to define and use ServerObjectClass and ServerObject ? When and how to call the G_DEFINE_TYPE macro ?
I think providing an archive with the samples code would be very nice.

Unfortunately tere is no source code, and it’s more like excerpts from many different sources. The goal here was to explain concepts more than actual code, sorry for that..
