Build bluez without dbus

[Jacques Dirac]

Hi,

Is there some configure parameter, patch or tutorial to build bluez
without dbus? Or with dbus, but without glib?

I want to use bluez v4.94 on an embedded system (x86, without GUI)
just to scan for nearby bluetooth devices (inquiry).

Hope this is possible.


Best regards.

The answer is no, those are very common dependencies on any
system/distribution that why we use them in the core daemon and they
fit pretty well in our design.

If you just care about inquiry then you don't need the core
daemon/bluetoothd, just do a hcitool scan.

I understand.

If you just need some basic function (inquiry), you can just write some code
directly on HCI with socket.
It is not very difficult by taking the reference to the implementation of
hcitool.

My program is similar to hcitool, so I just need bluetooth.c and
hci.c. I was hoping that the full build could give me a shared library
which contained all these functions.
I want to separate my code from the bluetooth code, so now I created a
shared library from the mentioned files myself. This works great for
me!

The next step is to create a simple program (again without GUI) that
can send out (push) bluetooth messages (like advertising). Have you
got some hints on that?

Best regards.
