What is the Windows equivalent for Linux's libbluetooth2-dev? I'm trying to run simple_scan.c for a BlueZ-enabled bluetooth scan on my Intel Edison but I need the bluetooth library. This is the solution for linux: Where is the bluetooth/bluetooth.h located in Linux?. But where can I download an equivalent library on my Windows device?

BlueZ is not supported in Windows at all. That simple_scan. c you're referring to will also not run on Windows.
BlueZ is the official Linux Bluetooth stack. It provides, in it's modular way, support for the core Bluetooth layers and protocols. Currently BlueZ consists of many separate modules: Bluetooth kernel subsystem core. L2CAP and SCO audio kernel layers.
Save this answer. Issue command: bluetoothd -v to get the active or working version of BlueZ.
Bluetooth in Windows is a completely different animal. BlueZ is not supported in Windows at all. That simple_scan.c you're referring to will also not run on Windows. I'm working on a project to read Heart Rate Monitors and we found it's going to be a royal pain to do in Windows (see example here) so we went Linux with our project and are using BlueZ with Qt 5.5.
