Installation of OpenOBEX

OpenOBEX installs a udev rule that requires a group named plugdev. Create that group as the root user:

groupadd -g 90 plugdev

Install OpenOBEX by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr      \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib  \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release       \
      -Wno-dev                         \
      .. &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install &&
mv -fv /usr/share/doc/openobex{,-1.7.1}

Command Explanations

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release: This switch is used to apply higher level of the compiler optimizations.

-Wno-dev: This switch is used to suppress warnings that are meant for the author of the CMakeLists.txt files.

mv -fv ...: Move the documention to a versioned directory.
