I think this Package needs looking at. It requires cmake to build, but cmake
requires it as a dep?
The configure needs to be changed back to
sh autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
make install
Technically, system libuv is not required to build CMake. I don't use
libuv for any BLFS packages. Here's my CMake bootstrap line:
./bootstrap --prefix=/usr \
--system-libs \
--mandir=/share/man \
--no-system-jsoncpp \
--no-system-librhash \
--docdir=/share/doc/cmake-3.13.2 \
-- -DCMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_LIBUV=false
That last part (-- -DCMAKE_...) allows the built-in version of libuv to
be used, instead of the system one. However, the BLFS philosophy, as I
take it, is to build system versions of libraries whenever possible, in
order to address issues of security that may not have been addressed in
the in-tree versions of packages.
I agree though that if system libuv is a *required* dependency then
there is a circular dependency which should be addressed...
