Thanks for all the help, still working on this. Some progress, some problems.

I went to the QT git site and cloned the latest to my hard drive. Did ./configure, make, sudo make install. Everything worked after I grabbed the alsa dev library.

I went into the examples folder and found a service discovery example for bluetooth. It built just fine on my linux desktop version of QT creator and it displayed the bluetooth mac and names of all the bluetooth devices nearby. That was a big step forward.

But it does not build when I select the maemo target, obviously because I only built the examples for my desktop. So the next question is this:

Can I somehow "cross compile" the git snapshot I downloaded for Maemo using my desktop or do I have to have the full scratchbox environment installed to build the qt mobility snapshot?

Thanks,
David
