make
sudo sh -c 'CFLAGS="-std=c99 -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/include/ -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/include/linux" JCFLAGS="-source 6" make install'

By default, this install JAR files in /usr/local/share/java and JNI libs in /usr/local/lib/jni

Download the DBUS java bindings from the DBUS website.

sudo apt-get install docbook-to-man gettext

Edit the Makefile and change "JAVAUNIXLIBDIR" and "JAVAUNIXJARDIR" to /usr/local/...

# Installation directory of the java-unix libraries
JAVAUNIXLIBDIR?=/usr/local/lib/jni
# Installation directory of the java-unix jars
JAVAUNIXJARDIR?=/usr/local/share/java

Compile and install libdbus-java with

make
sudo sh -c 'JAVAUNIXLIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/jni JAVAUNIXJARDIR=/usr/local/share/java make install'
