[Bluez-users] Cross Compile bluez-utils failed on dbus dependency !

[amateur]

Hi, All

I'm cross compiling bluez-utils-3.7 to arm platform. The cross 
compiler I  use is arm-linux-gcc-3.4, and I have already cross 
compiled bluez-libs successfully! When run 

	CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --host=i386-linux --target=arm-linux 

I got the following error:

	checking for DBUS... configure: error: dbus > 0.35 is required

As I can imagine, this is because bluez-utils depends on dbus, which 
doesn't exist on my target platform, and nor does I like to build the
dbus system on my target platform. 

Is there a way to avoid this?

I want to download some older releases of bluez to avoid the dbus
stuff, but I can't find any link on the bluez homepage. Does anyone
has a clue ?

thanks in advance!

you can go with bluez-utils-2.x to avoid the D-Bus dependency, but in
general you wanna do the effort to get D-Bus running on your system. You
should trust me on that one. At some point you start loving it.

thank you for the fast reply!
I am not familiar with dbus for the moment, so I think bluez-utils-2.x
should be a better solution for now. Maybe I will try dbus later. How
big is cost of build dbus system on a arm embedded platform. I mean,
do I need to recompile busybox for dbus support or that I need enable
dbus support in some of my key services ?
