BTStack as a library/Framework

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For a project I'm working on, it would be nicer if I could use BTStack as a 
library/framework for my 
iPhone, any way to accomplish this yet?
If not, I'm willing to work a bit to get it to compile in to a 
library/framework, so I don't have to 
include the btstack sources in to my project

Hi Sonic

Good idea.

For the WiiMote demo, I've setup the BTstack and the WiiMote folder in the same
directory and used relative links to the necessary source files and headers in 
the
WiiMote project. That should be fine for now, but yes, we should provide 
something
which can be easily integrated.

As most people cross-compile for the iPhone, a framework that you can place in 
your
developer folder or the iPhone toolchain will be fine. If you like you can 
build a
static library (using the ar tool, it merely put all object files into an 
archive).
In general, a dynamic library is nicer/cleaner. The autotool can build 
libraries, we
might need the libtool. I'll give it a quick try if it works without libtool 
and tell. 

And please join the BTstack-Dev mailing list (a.k.a. Developer Forum Group).

Matthias

Alright, sounds like a plan.

Hi Sonic. I've changed the build system to create libraries and a mini 
framework. Can
you take a look, if this is usable for you?

Hi Sonic. I'm wondering if a Framework makes sense for the iPhone. After all, it
would not contain any include files nor additional resources (at least so far). 
I've
discarded the mini framework build script. However, I've set the install name 
on the
library, so it will be found by an app that links against it. Any insights from 
your
side?

Hi Matthias. Is the BTStack library available separately? I would like to use 
the same on a project that has to communicate with ad-hoc medical devices for 
data transfer. Cheers.

If you install BTstack from Cydia, you'll fine libBTstack.dylib in 
/usr/local/lib on your device

is there any other way to download  libBTstack.dylib ? its missing in 
cocoatouch project

It is not missing from the CocoaTouch project. The idea is that you compile it 
using the provided autotools, see GettingStarted. You can also use 
/usr/local/lib/libBTstack.dylib from your device after installing BTstack from 
Cydia.
