sidewinderd.service is hard-coded to use /usr/bin

On some systems, /usr/local/bin needs to be taken instead, or the service will fail to start. Thanks to arunce from ubuntu forums. Original bug report: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1543370&page=6&p=13278148#post13278148
One possible fix: rename sidewinderd.service to sidewinderd.service.in and preprocess it, using CMake configure_file(). Replace "/usr" by CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX macro and voila, the service file should be correctly adjusted. I'm gonna fix it this weekend.
Really good to see that you still work on this GREAT driver. Currently, I try to use it on Debian 8.2 for G710 and I faced with this problem too. Sorry for my ignorance but I don't really see actually what should be renamed, where and when (before or after installation). Rename the file in sidewinderd-lg-g710/etc/ and change the soruce in sidewinderd-lg-g710/src/CMakeLists.txt in line "ADD_EXECUTABLE" before installation? I think, the only solution for me and It would be better if I wait for your version instead, I think :).
Thanks a lot for this project!!
Glad to see, that there are actually people using it!
I didn't want to confuse you. The solution above is for automating the installation process, so installation is as smooth as possible. But it's not needed - you can also edit the files on your own.
If you haven't run make and make install yet, edit sidewinderd.service in this project's etc directory. Adjust ExecStart according to your needs. On my system, the correct path is /usr/bin/sidewinderd, but on others, the correct path is /usr/local/bin/sidewinderd or even something else. Just find out, where sidewinderd gets installed (e.g. by using find /usr/ -name "*sidewinderd*").
If you have already run make and make install, find the installed sidewinderd.service in /usr/lib/systemd/system/, open and edit it. If this folder doesn't exist on your system, try finding the file manually by using the command above.
After fixing this issue, these additional steps won't be needed on your system. It will be easy as using make and make install.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your prompt response!
It assured me that your driver is perfect and something else setting or deficiency cause my boot problem. Maybe it helps somebody that my problem was another usb hardware, to be exact the iogear gbu521 bluetooth adapter. To solve the other usb interfaces booting problem just plug off this adapter, reboot and after that plug it in again. To solve iogear gbu521 firmware problem, you need to focus on broadcom's BCM20702A0 driver. For me, this was the solution: http://plugable.com/2014/06/23/plugable-usb-bluetooth-adapter-solving-hfphsp-profile-issues-on-linux. Altough, I found the final solution by the end of the comments. I couldn't solve this issue in other way for my system, I had to duplicate the file and rename the other one to BCM920702 Bluetooth 4.0-0a5c-21e8.hcd and leave the first one in the same brcm folder with the name BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e8.hcd.
Please inform me if this comment shouldn't be in this issue or just remove it.
Thank you again for sidewinderd driver!
Thanks for your feedback! Good to know, something else was causing the trouble. I'll leave the comment there, as other people might suffer from similar issues. Thanks for sharing!

Fixed by 91eff12. If needed, use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX flag for customization. Closing.
