Slackware64 14.1: bluez package missing gatttool due to readline test failing

Richard Cranium · 07-04-2014, 01:14 PM

This is an extension of something bartgymnast reported back in October.

I'm attempting to do some work with Bluetooth LE, which (as far as I can tell) requires me to use gatttool to communicate with the LE device. I noticed that the bluez package doesn't have that tool, even though the source is available in bluez 4.99.

The bluez source uses the AC_PATH_READLINE autoconf macro to test for the readline library. That's a macro the bluez team added to the source tarball (acinclude.m4).

If that test is fixed to include the ncurses library (and, sadly, the automake/autoconf files regenerated), the missing gatttool binary is built. You can also add LIBS=" -lncurses " to the .configure and make command lines in the slackbuild, which doesn't require running autoreconf.

I'd prefer to attach these as files, but oh well:

I had toyed with updating to bluez-5.20, but they are on the systemd bandwagon. You can compile it with "--disable-systemd", but you'd have to manage the udev rules yourself. And you still have to fix the readline test.

Not sure but this might help you with getting bluez-5.20 without systemd working :http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...ral/bluez.html

That patch works, but as Richard said there are still some ongoing issues but the good part is it works for now.

Although a test program can often fail for any number of reasons including the test program not being maintained properly, so your guess is as good as mine.
