Trying to get btscanner to make I get the following errors:

Haven't found a way to get past this and though I'd try a post.

btscanner-2.1 (hope I linked the right source) is ten years old: as it seems not maintained since then, it doesn't build as is on modern linux operating systems.

but I had a look around and found something into AUR (archlinux), where a kind soul patched it for your benefit: just apply this, then

Thanks for the quick reply. I followed your suggestions (patched the file, autoreconf, configure, make) and the second time around I get this...

/btscanner-2.1%make
make: *** No rule to make target ///etc/btscanner.dtd\"', needed by -Wbad-function-cast'. Stop.

Well, if it needs btscanner.dtd it's there in the dir, and if it needs it to be in /etc I move it over there, but neither seems to fulfill it's needs.

So..., trying something to see what might happen I remove the offender (-Wbad-function-cast) from the Makefile and take another run at it, and this time 'make' compiles for two encouraging pages only to crash at the end with my original post. Not an exercise w/o interest/instruction but I'm still stuck.

As general info I found in browsing that the CFLAG -Wimplicit-function-dec has to be changed to -Wimplicit-function-declaration to get past the first hurdle.

nothing of that is needed here (it builds fine): I think you haven't applied the patch right as -Wbad-function-cast is removed by the patch itself.

to apply the patch file above save it, for example, as /tmp/btscanner.patch, then go in the btscanner-2.1 folder and issue a

Thanks for your patience. Here's the output...

The ./configure went w/o any bloops/errors/flags, but the make bombed at the same place :-(. I can use btscanner off Kali which I have on a thumb drive but I was hoping to get it to work in Slack for a convenient option.

Appreciate your help,

strange, this is my configure and make log from a slackware64-14.0 full install: are you running a full one?
could you post your configure log too?
you should have a config.log file available after you run configure: could you post that also?
use pastebin to post your logs and post the links to the pastes here.

Don't run a server so I don't need Apache, don't have use for a lot of x-bells and whistles, etc, but my basic system is sound (I think-I've been using Slack since it came out in the mid-nineties though I'm no guru), bluetooth is functional including btscanner dependencies listed on AUR, i.e., bluez-libs and libxml2.

Well, it look like my config.log is attached but we'll see.

for some reason you seem still to have some exotic CFLAGS (I see it from diffing mine and yours config.log), so try like this: expand the tarball, apply the patch and then
try doing this in a bash shell (I say this as I tested with that).
