Has anyone cross compiled bluez-libs and bluez-utils with buildroot?

As far as I can see, we don't have these packages in Buildroot yet, and
there doesn't seem to be anything related to bluez in the bug tracker
(but the search engine looks a bit weird, no sure it works properly).

Back in 2005, some people tried to compile bluez with Buildroot, see
http://osdir.com/ml/bluez.devel/2005-03/msg00089.html.

Anyway, adding support for bluez-libs and bluez-utils to buildroot
should be relatively simple, since they use the classical autotools. A
few lines of .mk and Config.in should do the basic things.

Do you want to provide a patch for these ?

Thanks,

Thomas

If it can help, Gumstix guys seem to already have done the job:

Well I'll be damned - I just subscribed to the list 5 mins ago, to offer up my work getting the 3.36 version of bluez added to buildroot. It seems the gumstix guys have 2.24.

3.36 *requires* dbus (and therefore either expat or libxml), 2.24 does not. The 2.x releases are no longer supported. 3.x is in maintenance mode. 4.x is active (and also requires dbus), though they say 3.x is still the most common.

If you want me to submit my stuff, just let me know what format you would like it in and where to send it - I am new here remember :)

I've tested my builds on an ARM926-EJS with a CSR BlueCore4 BT device using BCSP transport.

I need bluez for a CSR BlueCore 4 too. It is connected to an Atmel AVR32.
For me it would be nice to see bluez in Buildroot.
I'm getting an error when trying to compile the gumstix version:
   root/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so: cannot execute binary file
Don't know what this means.
I've added these update commands to bluez.mk so it accepts avr32:
$(CONFIG_UPDATE) $(BLUEZ_LIBS_BUILD_DIR)
$(CONFIG_UPDATE) $(BLUEZ_UTILS_BUILD_DIR)
$(CONFIG_UPDATE) $(BLUEZ_HCIDUMP_BUILD_DIR)

Regards
Sebastian

[Buildroot] bluez

[Nick.Thompson at infineon.com]

I'm preparing a patch for the bug system. The port is being tested by Michel Benoit. He is having a few problems building, that I want to see resolved before I submit the patch though.

This will be for BlueZ 3.36 however.

Nick.

[Buildroot] bluez

[Nick.Thompson at infineon.com]

I have attached a patch to the bug system at http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=6134 to add bluez-libs and bluez-utils version 3.36 to buildroot.

Please make sure you use the latest patch as the first had an error in it which causes a build failure on release 0.9.29 uClibc platforms (the patch is not required in the latest 0.9.30-RC3 snapshots.)

When you configure dbus, you don't need dbus-glib for bluez - you might want it for other reasons of course. Here's some stuff from my .config which might help:

Nick-> grep DBUS .config
BR2_PACKAGE_DBUS=y
BR2_DBUS_EXPAT=y
# BR2_DBUS_LIBXML2 is not set
# BR2_PACKAGE_DBUS_GLIB is not set
Nick-> grep BLUEZ .config
BR2_PACKAGE_BLUEZ_LIBS=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BLUEZ_UTILS=y

Hi,

I know this topic is quite old but:

Do somebody know where this bug report has gone ??
(I finally get the hardware to test it ;-) )
