Much better patch to make the dbus-sharp dependency optional.
Is it possible to get this fixed for the next release?
This bug currently blocks the removal of the libdbus-based C# wrapper from several distributions because galago-sharp cannot be compiled without it.
This is especially annoying for two reasons: Most, if not all packages are switching away from the unmaintained libdbus wrapper to NDesk DBusSharp, and galago-sharp doesn't actually need dbus-sharp at runtime, it is only used for 2 test programs which are not even installed by default.
I will attach a patch that works for me by using PKG_CHECK_EXISTS and ignoring the tests/ directory if dbus-sharp.pc was not found. A possible alternative approach is a configure option (like --disable-tests or --without-tests).
