"if you have systemd installed (most do), add the following lines to the script before the disable-datafiles line, also remove the "disable-datafiles" line and replace it with "enable-library"
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system \
--with-systemduserunitdir=/usr/lib/systemd \
:wq (this saves the file and quits)
the bootstrap-configure file should look like the following:
_______________________________________________________________
#!/bin/sh
if [ -f config.status ]; then
make maintainer-clean
fi
./bootstrap && \
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode \
--enable-debug \
--prefix=/usr \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--enable-experimental \
--enable-android \
--enable-sixaxis \
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system \
--with-systemduserunitdir=/usr/lib/systemd \
--enable-library $*
_______________________________________________________________./bootstrap-configure
(resolve any dependency issues, just "apt-get install" them)
make
sudo make install
you should now have bluez installed and it should automatically run on boot.
there may be some issues with dbus when running some scripts in "bluez/tests", so you may have to modify the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf for a different user, or just run all the scripts as root.
If you would like to change the class of your bluetooth device, go to the following website and select the specifications for your class.
http://bluetooth-pentest.narod.ru/software/bluetooth_class_of_device-service_generator.html
Then copy your hex value into the following command:
sudo hciconfig -a hci0 class 0x200420
I entered the class 0x200420 which is a major service of Audio, a major device class of Audio/Video, with a minor device class of car audio. Great configuration for wireless audio for the raspberry pi. Enter the class after the power flag is on.
you can run bluetoothd with numerous plugins. Here are just a few in one example:
sudo bluetoothd -n -E -p autopair,hostname,policy,avrcp,input,deviceinfo,scanparam
