Now, as the root user: make install Install the main configuration file as the root user: install -v -dm755 /etc/bluetooth && install -v -m644 src/main.conf /etc/bluetooth/main.conf If desired, install the API documentation as the root user: install -v -dm755 /usr/share/doc/bluez-&bluez-version; && install -v -m644 doc/*.txt /usr/share/doc/bluez-&bluez-version; --enable-library: This switch enables building of the BlueZ 4 compatibility library which is required by some applications. /etc/bluetooth/main.conf is installed automatically during the install. Additionally, there are two supplementary configuration files that you can install by running the following commands as the root user: cat > /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf << "EOF" # rfcomm.conf # Set up the RFCOMM configuration of the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel. # Use one line per command # See the rfcomm man page for options # End of rfcomm.conf EOF cat > /etc/bluetooth/uart.conf << "EOF" #uart.conf # Attach serial devices via UART HCI to BlueZ stack # Use one line per device # See the hciattach man page for options # End of uart.conf EOF /etc/bluetooth/main.conf /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf /etc/bluetooth/uart.conf To start the bluetoothd daemon at boot, enable the previously installed systemd unit by running the following command as the root user: bluetooth systemctl enable bluetooth Systemd will start the Bluetooth daemon only when a bluetooth device is detected on the system. Installed Programs Installed Library Installed Directories bccmd, bluemoon, bluetoothctl, bluetoothd, btmon, ciptool, hciattach, hciconfig, hcidump, hcitool, hid2hci, l2ping, l2test, mpris-proxy, obexd, rctest, rfcomm, and sdptool libbluetooth.so /etc/bluetooth, /usr/include/bluetooth, /usr/libexec/bluetooth, and /usr/share/doc/bluez-&bluez-version; Short Descriptions bccmd is used to issue BlueCore commands to Cambridge Silicon Radio devices. bccmd bluetoothd is the Bluetooth daemon. bluetoothd ciptool is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the CIP configuration of the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel. ciptool hciattach is used to attach a serial UART to the Bluetooth stack as HCI transport interface. hciattach hciconfig is used to configure Bluetooth devices. hciconfig hcitool is used to configure Bluetooth connections and send some special command to Bluetooth devices. hcitool hid2hci is used to set up switch supported Bluetooth devices into the HCI mode and back. hid2hci l2ping is used to send a L2CAP echo request to the Bluetooth MAC address given in dotted hex notation. l2ping rctest is used to test RFCOMM communications on the Bluetooth stack. rctest rfcomm is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the RFCOMM configuration of the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel. rfcomm sdptool is used to perform SDP queries on Bluetooth devices. sdptool libbluetooth.so contains the BlueZ 4 API functions. libbluetooth.so
