'''D-Bus''' is a software library used for easy inter process communication and message handling. D-Bus was adopted by many modern desktop environments such as [http://www.gnome.org GNOME] or [http://www.kde.org KDE] to allow applications to talk to one another. The '''dbus-tqt package contains libraries integrating D-Bus to QT3''' and, together with its twin dbus-1-tqt, is a prerequisite for building and running the '''Trinity Desktop Environment'''. More information about D-Bus can be found at the web site of project [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus freedesktop] which coordinates software development and documentation management.

Once the configuration successfully concludes, the script runs the make command then goes on with packaging the software.
