Description Flags
Minimal fix needed to build libpcap 1.6.2 against BlueZ 5 none

Description tuksgig 2015-01-03 17:56:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
Bluetooth adapters are not listed as capture devices in libpcap based programs like tcpdump or wireshark.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libpcap-1.6.2-1.fc21.x86_64
bluez-libs-5.23-1.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always reproduceable

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run dumpcap -D or tcpdump -D

Actual results:
No bluetooth0 adapter is listed as capture source

Expected results:
bluetooth0 adapter should be listed as capture source

Additional info:
This is a regression (used to work in Fedora 20). Probably just needs a builddep on bluez-libs in libpcap spec.
Comment 1 Michal Sekletar 2015-02-23 13:38:26 UTC 
It is now impossible to compile libpcap against BlueZ 5. This problem is now being worked on upstream.

Minimal fix needed to build libpcap 1.6.2 against BlueZ 5

Here's a fix with minimal changes needed to build libpcap 1.6.2 with Bluetooth support (both, for Bluetooth adapters and for Bluetooth monitor).

Perhaps it can serve as an immediate remedy while the work is being done upstream to completely remove libpcap's dependency on BlueZ.

The fix has also been proposed for merge upstream:
