C++ BlueZ DBus sample application

This project is a minimal-dependency C++ application that demonstrates how to create a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) server with advertising using the BlueZ stack via the D-Bus interface. It is designed to run on Linux systems and relies solely on the native D-Bus library—no external Bluetooth libraries required.
