[Bluez-users] Wrong installation path of configuration files

[Bluez-users] Wrong installation path of configuration files

["Hans-Jürgen Lange"]

Hello,

i did install the bluez-utils-3.9 from source. 
configure --help tells me that all files are installed below /usr/local which is nice to keep the system clean.
But after running make install i find the hcid.conf and the dbus configuration files in /etc and not where expected in /usr/local/etc
Is it possible to move the configuration files from /etc to /usr/local/etc ?

Anyway I think its wrong in the installation or the description of the default behavior of make install.

BR
Hans-Juergen

Hello,

this is no answer at all. =


./configure --help should give information about the configuration paramete=
r. And it did. README may be a good start.

This is the output from ./configure --help

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=3D$HOME'.

It is a kind of ignorance to point someone to a file and think thats it. Yo=
ur are working like M$. Take it or leave it.

The configuration files are in the wrong place. Can I move them to /usr/loc=
al/etc or not. That has been my question. And you did not tell me that. And=
 it is not described in the README file whether to move the files.

The configuration utility. Gives wrong information about the place where fi=
les are installed. That is a fact. But it seems that it is out of your inte=
rest to change that.

Thank you for your not existing help.

Re: [Bluez-users] Wrong installation path of configuration files

Hello,

this is for all other that may need help.
if only running the normal way of building software

./configure
make
make install

this does install the dbus configuration files in /etc . But if you created the dbus daemon and its tools the same way, the configuration files of the dbus-daemon are searched in /usr/local/etc. 
So the hcid cannot connect to dbus-daemon and wont work at all.

Anyway with the above way all other parts of the bluez-utils are installed in /usr/local. and the libs as well but that is part of the confusing system that a correct handling leads to strange results.

if you want the configuration file even been held in /usr/local, as expected, run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local that makes the default behaviour of the ./configure script behave as the default should. Install all below /usr/local. And it works like a charme.

What a glance of support.

BR to all
