Hello everyone!
I'm using Yoper with a 2.6.8.1-3 kernel. I downloaded bluez-libs and bluez-utils, both 2.14. Did the following:
(in /home/blabla/bluez-libs-2.14)
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bluez
make
(did a su)
make install
(so far so good)
(now to /home/blabla/bluez-utils-2.14)
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bluez
make
(now things go crappy, read below the final lines of the output)

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/local/bluez/include
-I/usr/local/bluez/include -Wall -O2 -c test -f 'hcisecfilter.c' || echo './'hcisecfilter.c
gcc -I/usr/local/bluez/include -I/usr/local/bluez/include -Wall -O2 -o hcisecfilter hcisecfilter.o -lbluetooth /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lbluetooth
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [hcisecfilter] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/blabla/bluez-utils-2.14/tools' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/blabla/bluez-utils-2.14'
make: *** [all] Error 2

*blabla stands for a long and awkward branch of the directory tree; I found it to be annoying, so I replaced it;

Couldn't find any hints anywhere. :( I saw another topic on compile errors, but it wasn't quite what I needed, so I came up with this one. If it's been discussed earlier, please point it out. 10x in advance.

you need to install bluez-libs first and make sure bluez-utils can find it.

Hello!

I guess your linker just can't find the bluetooth library because you have installed it into a non-standard path.

Quoted 1 line

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bluez

make install runs the command `ldconfig -n /usr/local/bluez/lib' but the option -n forces ldconfig just to create the library links and not to update the cache. (man ldconfig) Add this path to your /etc/ld.so.conf and re-run ldconfig as root.

`ldconfig -p | grep bluetooth' should show libbluetooth now!

Best regards,
Sebastian

Added /usr/local/bluez/lib (even tried /usr/local/bluez), ran ldconfig as root. ldconfig -p | grep bluetooth
libbluetooth.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/local/bluez/lib/libbluetooth.so.1 libbluetooth.so (libc6) => /usr/local/bluez/lib/libbluetooth.so
Same thing gets spat out during make. :((
bluez-libs...I had that installed first...at least that's what I presume I did. :)
I've even turned religous - started praying, that is. :P

if you use a different prefix than /usr you might to tell the utils about it. Look at --with-bluez=... for example.
