BlueZ 5.23 How to Build btgatt-client Tool - bluetooth

There is a command line tool in the source of BlueZ 5.23 called btgatt-client. One of the command line parameters is "write-long-value". This is exactly what I need but after modifying the Makefile.tools file in the linked patch below, and running configure with the 'enable-tools' parameter, it does not get built alongside the other tools.
Has anyone built this tool or can anyone help me figure out how to build it? Thanks.

I didn't need to change any of the Makefiles. Just configure with --enable-experimental.
I'm on Bluez 5.24. But I assume that hasn't changed.

Building the client oflibmysqlclient on Windows with MSVC

ALL,
Does anyone succeeds building a client to libmysqlclient on Windows?
Following this instructions I can build the library itself
But then trying to follow mySQL documentaton which reads
To specify header and library file locations, use the facilities provided by your development environment.
With the old mySQL-Connector-C I was able to download just the code for the connector build it and then it had only 1 mysql.h
With the new library (8.0) I have t get the whole package, and there fore it will have multiple copies of mysql.h (yes, I did check by dong search of the file from Windows Explorer and Terminal/Bash).
In terms of library - it is easy as it will be hopefully just one and I can sue -L option for the linker.
But how do I get the proper include folder?
TIA!!
BTW, the tag here needs t be changed - it is not called connector-c anymore

When using someone else's application code do I need to run Cmake to get the project structure for my operating system.

I am getting into a position where I have to use other people code for projects, for example openTLD. I want to change some of the code to give it more functionality and use it in a diffrent way. What I have found is that many people have packaged their files in such a way that you are supposed to use
cmake
and then
make
and sometimes after that
make install
I don't want to install the software on my system. What I am looking to do is get these peoples code to a point where I can add to it in Eclipse or even just using Nano and then compile it.
At what point is the code in a workable/usable state. Can I use it after doing cmake or do I need to also call make? Is my thinking correct that it would be better to edit the code after calling cmake as opposed to before? I am not going to want my finished code to be cross platform supported, it will only be on Linux. Is it easer to learn cmake and edit the code befor running cmake as opposed to not learning cmake and using the code afterwards, if that is possible?
You question is a little open ended.
Looking at the opentld project, there is a binary and a library available for use. If you are interested in using the binary in your code, you need to download the executables(Linux executables are not posted). If you are planning to use the library, you have two options. Either you use the pre-built library or build it during your build process. You would include the header files in your custom application and link with the library.
If you add more details, probably others can pitch in with new answers or refine the older ones.

Using Google Breakpad HTTPUpload functionality on Linux

I am currently using Google Breakpad in my Linux app. I built breakpad by configure&make, I am linking /src/client/linux/libbreakpad_client.a and it works fine, dump is created in case of crash.
Now I would like to also use common/linux/http_upload functions to upload dump somewhere similar way as it is done in src/tools/linux/symupload/minidump_upload but I get undefined reference to google_breakpad::HTTPUpload::SendRequest...
How to proceed? Is is not built on Linux into some library? Linking libbreakpad_client.a and libbreakpad.a does not seem to be enough. Do I need to build it somehow separately? Thanks for help.
It requires src/common/linux/http_upload.cc to be included in (for example) libbreakpad_client.a, I added that line to Makefile.am to src_client_linux_libbreakpad_client_a_SOURCES section. It seems it is not built otherwise by any configure arguments or I missed it.

Linux application project for zynq7000 in the Xilinx SDK

I'm trying to create a Linux application to run on my Zynq7020. However I don't understand how the Xilinx SDK generate the executable file.
When I create a hello world, for instance, it creates one .elf file and under the debug it creates one object (.o) and one dependency (.d). I want to run it under the Linux that is running on my board, how do I do it?
Thank you very much.
I want to run it under the Linux that is running on my board, how do I do it?
Most likely, you just need to copy/download the .elf file to your target board and run it.
If that doesn't work, try editing your question to supply more info. In particular, what commands "create a hello world" actually executes?
When creating the project in the Xilinx SDK, select that it runs on linux rather than standalone. See this official tutorial for an in-depth explanation.

How can I create a build file through Ant script in iPhone SDK?

How can I create build files using ANT Script in iPhone SDK? If it is possible, please tell me how.
You can use the exec task to call out to xcodebuild. This will work, but doesn't give you that much control over the build. You still have to have an Xcode project for it to work. Unless you have a lot of non-Xcode build steps to perform it doesn't buy you much over just invoking xcodebuild from a shell script.
