I tried to use those instructions to build a test library, Media_Plugin.so, but it failed, as I detailed in another post, "Working Build Process?". Can you help me find the correct procedure for working on the current source base? Thanks.

Where can I find  bluetooth sources referenced in /PlutoDHCP/PlutoDHCP.ccp -> /BD/PhoneDevice.h see error below.

I followed all steps outlined at http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Building_From_Source. And was able to build UpdateMedia.  But I also see "/!\ WARNING: at the moment the sources are moving, so there are some bugs related to sources versions. you may not be able to compile" at http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Setting_Up_A_Development_Environment.
Is this warning the reason I am not able to locate bluetooth sources?

Code:

/src/PlutoDHCP$ make
g++ -I. -I.. -I.. -I../DCE -I/usr/include/mysql -W -Wall -pipe -ggdb3  -c -o PlutoDHCP.o PlutoDHCP.cpp

you want bluez-devel

[boris]

you want bluez-devel

Thanks, that did the trick.

ok where do these instructions need to go?  Sorry this is first time I am doing this, so if I make any mistakes I am sorry.
 Run this to install libs

Code:

sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev

please no worries!! Mistakes are human. I don't know if we have a wiki page that lists all build dependencies..

We try our best to make this forum a more friendly place for the future.

best regards,
Hari
