The quickest way is to create a directory =


# mkdir -p /usr/local/include/bluetooth/

and then copy the header files by hand =


# cp /path/to/source/for/bluez-libs-3.12/include/*.h \
            /usr/local/include/bluetooth/

The lacking of those header files, i.e. detailed descriptions of
bluez-utils-3.12, is probably the reason why you could not build
bluez-utils, even though the static and shared libraries were
present. I am somewhat puzzeled that "make install" did not put
the headers in the correct place, but give the above manipulation
a chance, and we will figure out the rest when there is no hurry.

By the way, your very first effort with BLUEZ_LIBS essentially
only lacked a second necessary variable:

   BLUEZ_LDFLAGS=3D"-I/usr/local/include"
   BLUEZ_LIBS=3D"-L/usr/local/lib -lbluetooth"

but it is safer to use "--with-bluez=3D/usr/local"

Good luck this time!

Best regards,	Mats E A
