Boris Samorodov (bsam@freebsd.org) did all the work to port gammu
bluetooth onto freebsd. he is the gammu's port maintainer. all his
patches can be found at

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/comms/gammu/

(actual patches at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/comms/gammu/files/)

bsam's patches work on gammu version 1.13.0, however cmake scripts do
not have support for detecting bluetooth on freebsd. i'm not familiar
with cmake, so i simply applied bsam's patches and hacked cmake
generated .h files to enable relevant bluetooth defines. once i
compiled hacked version, bluetooth worked fine.

please take a look at bsam's patches to see if they can be included into gammu

please modify cmake scripts so it can properly detect bluetooth on freebsd

please feel free to ask in freebsd-bluetooth@freebsd.org any questions
