Subject: Backporting BLE+MIDI plugin to bluez 5.43 ?
Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2019 19:33:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0A7939B9-5570-4EF2-B831-2B2608539970@mykle.com> (raw)

Hello, 

I wonder if anyone here could advise me on a hack.  I’m trying
to set up a MIDI-over-BLE connection to a Bela-platform host,
which runs a specific linux distro that prefers bluez v5.43 .

However, it appears that MIDI-over-BLE was not added to bluez 
until the very next point release, v5.44 .

For various reasons, it’s difficult for me to build bluez
from source for this host.  Upgrading the OS would introduce a lot
of work as well.

So, not knowing the bluez architecture at all, I wonder if it would
be feasible to somehow extract just the MIDI-plugin component
of the v5.44 release, and plug that into a 5.43 installation.  

This would clearly be a hack, but if it’s feasible it would
save me a lot of time and work.  I just have no idea how to
do it.  I’ve heard that MIDI is implemented as a plugin in bluez; 
that’s what makes me think this might not be totally implausible.

Thanks in advance for any advice on this,

-mykle-
