I tried to compile the assitant branch on Ubuntu 12.04. But i depends on the DBus libraryw hich does not compile with some glibberish errors. Is there a way to solve this?

Hmm, let's see...
If the gibberish error is ouyay orgotfay otay otay elltay emay utwhay ethay roreay asway, then we can figure it out, surely..
If the gibberish error looks something like Ḩ̶̞̗̓ͯ̅͒ͪͫe̢ͦ̊ͭͭͤͣ̂͏̢̳̦͔̬ͅ ̣̘̹̄̕͢Ç̛͈͔̹̮̗͈͓̞ͨ͂͑ͅo̿ͥͮ̿͢͏̧̹̗̪͇̫m̷̢̞̙͑̊̔ͧ̍ͩ̇̚ę̜͑̀͝s̖̱̝̩̞̻͐͂̐́̂̇̆͂
.. your use of cabal
has accidentually summoned Cthulu! Back slowly away from the monitor!
Otherwise, you might try installing the
libdbus-1-devpackage with apt, which might make cabal install the haskell dbus bindings successfully. Or you could just install thelibghc-dbus-devpackage, which contains the necessary haskell library pre-built. But I don't know if it's in Ubuntu 12.04; it only seems to be available in quantal http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libghc-dbus-devOr you could even build it with the Makefile, rather than using cabal. The Makefile has a
-DWITH_DBUSsetting in it that can be removed to build the fallback mode that doesn't use dbus.I fnordgot to mention, cabal can be configured to not build with dbus too. The relevant incantation is:
cabal install git-annex --flags="-Dbus"
The build error is:
