Flavio Percoco commented on PROTON-902:
---------------------------------------
FWIW, I fully agree... I'll open a new JIRA
> Make dependency on libuuid optional
> -----------------------------------

> Key: PROTON-902
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-902
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Flavio Percoco
> Assignee: Ken Giusti
> Attachments: 0001-PROTON-902-Remove-the-dependency-on-uuid.patch

>
> The current proton-c version depends on libuuid for, well, generating uuids.
> The unfortunate thing of this dependency is that it's currently just required
> by the messenger and it's just being used for building the messengers name.
> It's really unfortunate to require this library and headers to be present for
> such a small case.
> It'd be possible to make this dependency optional by adding a built-in uuid4
> generator that'd be enabled whenever libuuid is not around.
