Replying to myself to one thing:

I didn't mean [1] was an example of gnome-bluetooth usage but of bluetooth
device discovery obviously. Now I've realised there are some "test*" files
in gnome-bluetooth such as
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-bluetooth/tree/lib/test-deviceselection.c
(although
I would recommend to move them out of the "lib" folder to a "samples"
folder or something) and I've tried to build the repo, and got this error:

https://gist.github.com/knocte/8442441

So I think you're missing some proper version in the dependency checking of
configure.ac, maybe gtk?
