Unable to load chan_mobile asterisk

I have been trying to connect my Asterisk 1.8 to a bluetooth via chan_mobile.so for half a day now. Just failed like crazy.

I read some posts where they recommended 

cd addons
./configure 
make menuselect

This failed since ./configure does not exist in addos folder any more for 1.8 (it used to be there in 1.4 and 1.6)

I then read a few more posts and they recommended

./configure --with-bluetooth

This too failed,

configure: ***
configure: *** The BLUETOOTH installation appears to be missing or broken.
configure: *** Either correct the installation, or run configure
configure: *** including --without-bluetooth.

But thats the point right, with-bluetooth, da!!

I read a bit more and found the right answer to it all, I was missing the libbluetooth-dev. So all I had to do was to sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev and the ./configure --with-bluetooth worked.

After you get .configure working, you need to run a make, make install and make menuselect. On running menuselect, hit AddOns and enable [ ] on chan_mobile with a [*], hit Esc and S for save.

Also check /etc/asterisk/modules for

load => chan_mobile.so

To test

asterisk -vc | grep mobile

With so less support for quick answers on asterisk getting started, I thought it would be best to share a Q and A on SO.
