Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi, a few observations on installation from git repository on a reasonably fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.4. (Previous installations from tar.gz have all run correctly first time.) 1. Fetching the clone from the temporary repo not a problem 2. ./configure instruction from README/INSTALL did not work, no configure found 3. Found a related advice to run: aclocal, autoheaders,automake and autoconf and ran these 4. repeated automake with --add-missing - this added several programmes but was not able to deal with missing ltmain.sh 5. I copied ltmain.sh from my previous install of version 4.96, this allowed configure to proceed a bit further, ran into problems with "package_revision" number in ltmain, hand edited 6. Also a problem with missing Makefile.in - copied from 4.96 - bad way to proceed but nothing ventured... 7. ./configure, make, make install all ok from this point. 8. restart of bluez-coldplug service ok. Result: bluetoothd is working as before. It reports version as 4.96. However expected patch for previously reported problem still produces same error, so my install may be bad. Please advise where I went wrong so that I and others can do it correctly next time. Any need for additional instructions in INSTALL? -- --- Colin Beckingham
