Now, as the root user: make install && ln -svf ../libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd /usr/sbin 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. --disable-systemd: This switch is needed because systemd is not part of LFS/BLFS. If you are using systemd, remove this switch. ln -svf ../libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd /usr/sbin: This command makes access to the bluetooth daemon more convenient. /etc/bluetooth/main.conf is installed automatically during the install. Additionally, there are three supplementary configuration files. /etc/sysconfig/bluetooth is installed as a part of the boot script below. In addition, you optionally can install the following, 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 To automatically start the bluetoothd daemon when the system is rebooted, install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth bootscript from the package. bluetooth make install-bluetooth 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
