I compiled some code:
sudo apt-get install kdelibs5-dev kdebase-workspace-dev checkinstall -y
git clone git://projects.ufocoders.com/libbluedevil
cd libbluedevil
cmake.
make
sudo checkinstall
cd ../
git clone git://gitorious.org/bluedevil/bluedevil.git
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
make
sudo checkinstall
Then, I went into the System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Service Manager, clicked on BlueDevil, stopped and started the service. Et, voila!
I can now connect my $20 bluetooth headset, with full audio support with which to listen to Amarok and make Skype calls! Thank you, ufocoders, and KDE in general.

Goot how-to, but i tihink better use use "checkinstall" instead "make install"
Thanks for the tip!
I didn't know about this tool at all. It may solve an issue I was having too (deploying on Kubuntu machines at work)!
Nevermind... it doesn't seem these packages are very portable. :/
Hi,
I tried your 'how-to' but I got errors in the second 'make':

I am on Kubuntu, KDE 4.4.2. Any tip?
First, it really works best with 4.5
Second, it sounds like you need a bluez package or an alsa/bluetooth package.
You need git to download the sources, there are no tarballs to deal with.
You are missing the line: "cd bluedevil"
Thank you for your guide. Works perfect with my bluetooth mouse on Kubuntu 10.04 with kde 4.4.2
Thankfully, this is included by default in kubuntu 10.10, so unless you have a reason not to, upgade asap!
