Hi,

I need the possibility to generate some GUIDs / UUIDs within Thrift compiler. Unfortunately MinGW seems not to contain the necessary lib and header files, or I just haven't looked at the right place. After some trying and two hours googling around and looking through different approaches I found a package which allows the usage of libuuid.a and uuid.h also under MinGW.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/libuuidmingw/

Although this solution would work perfectly, there's a problem: This piece of software is GPLv3.

Does anybody know of another (better) solution to use uuid.h/libuuid with MinGW? Particularly, I need to call uuid_generate() and uuid_unparse().

Any help would be appreciated,
many thanks,
JensG
