Re: [Bluez-devel] [ANN] Zaurus BlueZ kernel packages for ROM v3.10

[Justin Karneges <justin-qt@affinix.com>]

Hi,

I'm working towards easy Bluetooth on the Zaurus.  I have a bluez GUI tool and 
qtopia dialer plugin in the works.

However, getting bluez installed was never easy.  In the past, I was using the 
ipks available at bluez.sf.net, which were never very complete.

Today, I sought to remedy this, and tried cross compiling modules and the 
libs/utilities.  I ran into a heap of trouble, and then discovered this 
thread.  I'm glad someone else is looking into this stuff too. :)

My original goal was to get this working with kernel 2.4.6, but I'm not sure 
how realistic that is.  I didn't know about the new sharp ROM until today, 
which I have now installed.  I guess it is acceptable to work with this as a 
target, and considering it comes with kernel 2.4.18, it should make a lot of 
things easier.

Xavier's package looks good.  The only flaw I think is that it does not set up 
/etc/bluetooth.

I'd like to see some secrets shared.  Could Steve or Xavier respond to me here 
or on the list, so that we can make something more official?
