configure/make errors

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello again,

after having solved the automake error, configure gave me another one and googling solved it [1]. But, again, no dependencies from libao-dev is present in the README (and, strangely, automake doesn't complain).

This wasn't enough: make gave me other errors, because it could not find the Bluetooth dev libraries.

Attached a patch against the current CVS:

* bootstrap:
checking for the existence of /usr/share/aclocal/ao.m4 and exiting with an error if not present (we cannot use the pkg-config because ao.m4 is used to generate the configure script)

* configure.in:
used pkg-config to check the presence of the Bluetooth dev libraries

* README:
added more info about dependencies (section Build.0)

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Hi Luca,

And again. The bootstrap thing is for making the developer happy, because he must call only one program/script for getting the repository ready. It is not for others ;)

You can also use AM_PATH_BLUEZ. Since bluez-libs-2.13 it is also available now, because not all systems use pkg-config.

Regards

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

<cut>

I know this, but the problem here is that if someone like me (not a developer, not really a newbie) wants to try his Bluetake BT420EX with the bluetooth-alsa project, he should go with the CVS (no other released versions). And so he has some problem, because there're no info about the requirements (automake-1.7, the Audio Output libraries and the Bluetooth libraries, even if the last one was my fault, it's quite obvious that for a Bluetooth project you need the Bluetooth libraries).

So, IMHO also for developers, at least a 'required packages' section should be added to the README.

BTW, with my patch there's still one program/script ;-)

Ok, I'll add this ASAP, but ATM Debian unstable still has 2.11 and I should prepare my own Debian bluez-2.13 packages.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Hi Luca,

I don't lead this project and so these are only my two cents. Brad is responsible and it is actually his decision.

Maybe doing a release once in a while is a good idea, but the problem is the kernel module is not in that shape that I would accept it. However I like the idea of doing everything in userspace as an ALSA plugin and that should be the way to go.

Yeah, we really need new packages (btw 2.14) for Debian Sid.

Regards

Marcel

yes, that's a no-brainer :) and I added it to the docs

the README is just generated from our main web page http://bluetooth-alsa.sf.net
