Hello! I booted my Windows laptop into Linux via a USB thumb drive and tried to get this to work, and it gave me several 404 errors when trying to install the required components (libbluetoothdev, libglib, etc.), and, not at all surprisingly, I got an error when trying to compile the custom build of BlueZ (more errors than the SDL headers, having to do with the missing components as well). I was able to compile the custom BlueZ build successfully (not the actual WiimoteEmulator, SDL headers were still missing and that part didn't work) on my Chromebook, and, even though it might not work, I transferred the build to my Windows laptop and tried it after disabling bluetooth, and, on attempt to run the custom bluetoothd file, I got the error "command not found." I also tried making it executable just to see if it would work with "chmod +x " and, nope, I got a syntax error. Any ideas?

EDIT: So I was able to run my custom build of BlueZ from my Chromebook, but when I try the command "sudo ./bluubomb" after making it executable, it says "can't listen on psm 1: Address already in use". This might be a dumb question, but do I need a USB Bluetooth device in addition to my PC using Bluetooth for this to work? It seemed possible from what I saw in other "issues". Thanks in advance!

Any help will be appreciated.
