dbus-cxx is a C++ implementation of the DBus protocol. It does not use the reference C implementation of libdbus at all in order to provide a tight C++-like interface, and to fix known multithreading problems with libdbus. libsigc++ is used to help provide an OO interface to the bus. Also included is dbus-cxx-xml2cpp to generate proxy and adapter interfaces from DBus XML introspection-like documents.

NOTE: Pre-built binary packages used to be provided through a private apt server, but this is no longer the case. If you are willing to help provide packages such as this, please get in touch by using the 'discussions' tab on Github!
Releases - (.bz2, .gz, .zip) can be found on Sourceforge and Github
