OK, I missed the "symbolic link".
Now I need to go back to "configure" to find out why the library is build for host and
not the target.
Thanks very much for your help, appreciate it,
PS
It would have been helpful if the linker told me this.
Maybe there is an option somewhere to do that.

The linker's role is to combine different object code files into an executable. It expects all objects to be in the correct format, so if they are not then it can only reject them. It cannot be expected to analyse the content of every 'foreign' object to tell the user what it is.

You can check where your apt installed your package using
$ dpkg -L bluez
/.
/bin
/bin/hciconfig
/etc
/etc/bluetooth
/etc/bluetooth/input.conf
/etc/bluetooth/main.conf
...
/usr/share/man/man1/rctest.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/rfcomm.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/sdptool.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man8
/usr/share/man/man8/bluetoothd.8.gz
/usr/sbin/bluetoothd
$
Note that if you're querying packages, you don't need to sudo to execute dpkg. Also note that the normal package for bluez does not include libbluetooth. For that you need packages libbluetooth3 and libbluetooth-dev (for headers, etc).
$ dpkg -L bluez | grep libbluetooth.so
$ dpkg -L libbluetooth3 | grep libbluetooth.so
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libbluetooth.so.3.18.14
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libbluetooth.so.3
$ dpkg -L libbluetooth-dev | grep libbluetooth.so
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libbluetooth.so
$
I expect if you've built these packages for armhf and installed them on your X86 sytem, then they may not be in the locations listed here.

Thanks for reply.
After Richard's post I can correctly identify the file wrong architecture - as already suspected and reported by the linker.
Upon preliminary investigation it looks as "bluez" package "configure" is flaky.
It's sketchy documentation clearly states that it is smart enough to sort-of self option itself.
I can prove otherwise as far as --build, --host and --target options go.
I really do not care how it "automatically " determines them, but it totally ignores --target when given as an option!
Not only that - it also selectively ignores other architecture options.
I can provide "configure" file outputs if anybody cares.
Here is a snippet
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Yes, I did search for "target" - nothing , nada
The real question is - how to resolve this?
www.bluez.org is useless
Ubuntu forum probably does not care
other forums are off limits and I really do not want to be just statistic anyway
If it is bug - where do I go next?
I guess learn how to edit "configure " is my real option.
But I need to verify if the target architecture I am using is valid , since I cannot rely on "configure" to tell me !
For example - this passed --target=armv7l, but was ignored.
I am open to suggestions,

Try opening the configure script with your favourite editor and do a search for the keywords mentioned above. You should then be able to see what options it is able to handle.
|
|
|
|

Did that already.
There is no "checking ..target..." similar to "host" and "build".

where did this come from? Your X86 or your PI?

Are you building a .deb package on the X86 and installing it there? If so then presumably you might also have libbluetooth and libbluetooth-dev packages that you could install also which reduce the pain you're going through.

You do realize that you're going down a rabbit hole, trying to do this via cross-compilation. In order to build bluez, you'll need to have all the prerequisites:
In order to compile Bluetooth utilities you need following software packages:
- GCC compiler
- GLib library
- D-Bus library
- udev library (optional)
- readline (command line clients)
So you'll need to build all those for arm before you can build bluez --- and those probably have dependencies, etc, etc, etc. After each package is build and installed you'll need to figure out how to tell successive packages where to find their dependencies. That might be as simple as something like adding --with-glib=<path-to-armhf-glib> to the configure command line, or you may have to use make's CFLAGS (C compiler flags), CPPFLAGS (c-pre-prossor flags e.g -I<path>), CXXFLAGS (C++ flags), LDFLAGS (linker flags e.g -L<path>), LDLIBS (linker libraries e.g -l<lib>) environment varialbes. Also see configure --help. At the end there's a long list of environment variables you can set to tell configure where to find things. To set those you can either
$ export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/arm/inlcude
$ export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/arm/lib
$ export LDLIBS=-lglib -ldbus -ludev
$ ./configure <args> or
$ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/arm \
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/arm/lib \
LDLIBS="-lglib -ldbus -ludev" \
./configure <args>

Almost nobody ever edits configure files. They are generated by the autom4te, autoconf, and automake tools. I've not used them myself, so I can't tell you much about how they work. But there's plenty of reading if you google for it.

1. Yes, I am building on X86 , but with --target=arhnmf
2. "configure" has an option --enable-library which builds the library , but for X86.
And that is the problem.
I did look at "configure" again and see no code to implement --target.
I believe that is the main issue I need to solve before anything else.
I am also finding that I better reboot and remove the .../lib in its entirety before making another run at "configure".
Last time it deleted the .../lib and never rebuild it.
I am still looking for another full / zipped source of "bluez" to compile from , this one from www.bluez.org is unreliable.

Sorry, done that too.
It is getting harder to keep up the discussion and troubleshooting same time.
I am still trying to find where / how I can modify "configure" to add some feedback on "target" processing.
"configure" is not tracking target code at all, but it is there and I cannot find how it is getting the host / build as incorrect default.
I'll try to keep you posted so you do not have to duplicate what I have already done.

I am getting frustrated as far as where to post - so here it is
Progress report
I managed to convince "configure" that "host" is
pi@pi:~ $ sudo bash ./config.guess
armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
as reported by "config.guess" running on RPi. No errors.
However,
"checkinstall" now complains when I try to change the architecture to -A armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf - which is whole point of this exercise!
dpkg: error processing archive /media/jim/DEV/BLUEZ/bluez-5.50/bluez_5.50-1_armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf.deb (--install):
package architecture (armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/media/jim/DEV/BLUEZ/bluez-5.50/bluez_5.50-1_armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf.deb
Of course the library file format is still wrong - as expected - nothing changed it
jim@jim-desktop:/usr/local/BLUEZ/bluez-5.50/lib$ file libbluetooth.so.3.18.16
libbluetooth.so.3.18.16: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=55d60353934d3672e2c88fbc64ceaba37c4d0442, not stripped
At this stage I have to ask -
assuming the documentation of "configure" IS CORRECT (?) - I should be able to change the "host" architecture BUT
how . where , by whom it is actually changed / processed ?
It sure looks as it is NOT being changed.
As soon as I resolve this , I can tackle the "checkinstall" complaint.
Addendum
there is something strange in "configure" output
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/BLUEZ/bluez-5.50 --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-library --disable-systemd --host=armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

Try again.
Better yet, just build your PI part on the PI. If eclipse is too slow on the pi, then maybe learn vi, emacs or gedit and how to build a Makefile. I think if you had gone that route, you would have made significant progress on your project. OTOH, maybe the point of all this pain you're going through is to learn how to cross-compile. Hows that going for you?

I have been doing more reading on triplet and using config.guess too.
Yes, it is a pain - basically one should only need -host.
However - as good as theory is - practice is much simpler and WORKS.
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/BLUEZ/bluez-5.50 --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-library --disable-systemd --host=armv7l --build=x86_64
configure works - it builds necessary triplet - as it should and checkinstall works.
I understand your suggestion to build the package on RPi, however do not know how to copy it to
PC where I need it.
I do have an issue with ANY tools, not limited to Linux , adverting something and not delivering.
As I said before - I have no issues with crosscompiling using Eclipse - the issue is configure does not CHANGE the resulting library file to armv7l architecture.
But I did find the scrip code WHERE configure is checking host and build options .
Now I need to find the actual function...
PS I have seen your prediction already.I got it documented somewhere, loosing track.

You don't need to use sudo for configure, or make, but you do need to sudo make install - unless of course you're doing this in a directory that you don't have normal write access to - in which case Don't Do That! - maybe set up a $HOME/src directory, extract (tar xf) the source there, and configure and build (make) as non-root user.

I have a prediction : When you get to the part where you're able to make bluez, you're going to run into this:
CC gdbus/mainloop.lo
In file included from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h:9:0,

from /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/galloca.h:32,

from gdbus/mainloop.c:28:

make[1]: *** [gdbus/mainloop.lo] Error 1
Makefile:3278: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
When you get to that point you should realize that you need to install a cross-compiled version of glib2 to be able to cross-compile bluez.
Ditto for any prerequisites for glib2.

To implement bluez package usable for C++ development, one starts with "configure".
This script is "automatically generated"(?) and guesses many usable options / parameters to be implemented when the bluez package is actually installed - either by make and make install or checkinstall.
I took the liberty to edit it and here is a basic , no options provided output.

I do not expect the forum to analyze the enclosed, but please note highlighted.
In my view - the "configure" found the not optioned triplet, is agreeable to build shared libraries etc.
The most important part is the LAST line - that SHOULD actually build the NOT requested libbluetooth.so file of NOT specified , correctly guessed x86 architecture.
The "configure" output looks much different when both --host and --build are optioned.
End of story.

Just out of curiosity, what OS are you using on the PC? Ubuntu, Debian or something else?
|
|
|
|
|
The overall work that must be getting it worked to which it will be managed by the process to get the function for it so
|
|
|
|

Sorry, little hard to figure out what you are trying to say.
Just for update
I am using bluez source to build a C++ library for specific (--host= arm) architecture using (--build=x86) architecture.
It supposedly works, but not for me.
I am in process of analyzing the "lead script" - configure - to find out how it should process the options. It is a slow process.

You can fix that by editing /etc/apt/sources.list and changing all the lines that start
deb http://... to
deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://...
and add the ubuntu ports repo
deb [arch=armhf] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic main universe
However, that doesn't help a lot - then you get:
sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev:armhf

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libbluetooth-dev:armhf : Depends: libbluetooth3:armhf (= 5.48-0ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libc6-dev:armhf but it is not going to be installed or
libc-dev:armhf
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I tried following along by adding all the dependencies manually e.g.
$sudo apt-get libbluetooth-dev:armhf libbluetooth3:armhf libc6-dev:armhf thinking I'd eventually get all the dependencies were added, but then you get to gcc-8-base:armhf and you get this
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-8-base:armhf

$ So that's not the way to go, either. There seems to be something broken with Ubuntu's foreign-arch handling.
Debian and Ubuntu are very close, so maybe you could switch to Debian for your PC rather than Ubuntu - otherwise, you could try installing virtualbox or VmWare, and install Debian as a guest OS. Guest OS's run only very slightly slower than the host. For example, it took about 4 minutes to compile the source code for postgresql-11.1 on my host, and about 4:30 on the guest. Not much in it, and eclipse is available for Debian, so you should be at home. If you run your host in full-screen mode, you'd hardly be aware you're not running the OS natively on the PC.

Thanks, you are being very hel[full.
Hope you are not spend too much time on this problem.
But I do appreciate the help.
you could try installing virtualbox or VmWare, and install Debian as a guest OS. Guest OS's run only very slightly slower
I had a very bad experience "upgrading" to Ubuntu 18 , so I do prefer not to mess with my OS.
If I do the above will be be easy to switch between Ubuntu / Debian?
Of course I may have an issue re-installing Eclipse, especially moving current stuff over...
