Undefined references everywhere, while trying to compile BluezTools? - c

Question

I'm trying to compile BluezTools using the following command:
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
Here is a snippet of the output:

This is my first attempt as building a C project on Linux, where am I going wrong?

Do you have bluez and obexd installed? https://code.google.com/p/bluez-tools/#Requirements
You could check the output of ./configure for any errors. Usually there is a configure.log or similar to grep for erros.
I dont know about Mint package management, but you probably need some kind of obex*-dev package at least or install obex source yourself.
EDIT Edited to answer the comment.
I do not think the obexd-client is enough, but try this method and see if it is. Otherwise you need to look for some -dev packages like libglib2.0-cil-dev libglib2.0-dev and libdbus-glib-1-dev. (Those are the names on Ubuntu).
Here is how I got it to compile (still emits warnings, though).
Install a bunch of -dev packages for glib and dbus (ddg/google the functions that fail to link, so you see which libraries they are from).
Execute pkg-config --libs --cflags dbus-1 dbus-glib-1 glib-2.0
Use the output of the command in the ./configure e.g.:
env LIBS="-I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -ldbus-glib-1 -ldbus-1 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0" ./configure
Execute make

Fixed a similar problem by adding pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0. Maybe helps someone.
