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=lib  \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
      .. &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

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

Command Explanations

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

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