bluez

I am trying to run a basic code of c in linux[ubuntu] to search bluetooth device, but i am facing some problem.

By using command sudo apt-get install bluez, to install required blueZ library it is saying that bluez is already newest version.

But error comes that not able to find bluetooth.h and other files in compiling C source code, with gcc -o simplescan simplescan.c -lbluetooth

Is there a complete library package, or do I have to download these header files?.

I am following this link

As for i know there no packages for these headers. You have to download the following header files from internet.

  1. bluetooth.h
  2. hci.h
  3. hci_lib.h

and create a directory called "bluetooth" under /usr/lib/ in your host machine and copy the above headers to /usr/lib/bluetooth/. Then compile your program, it should work.

Note: while compiling link with -lbluetooth
