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

["\"Hans-Jürgen Lange\"" <Hans-Juergen.Lange@gmx.de>]

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
