Can you be more specific about what issues you're seeing? Reporting error messages would be helpful. It would also be instructive to know what version of Ubuntu you're using and whether or not you have the "uuid-dev" package installed as the latter affects the execution path of the script. Since I've been using Qpid on Ubuntu for several years and haven't had any issues in this area, I wonder if there might be something unusual about your environment; perhaps if for example you've installed something (possibly uuid-related) from source that's affecting things or your build environment has otherwise become inconsistent (broken apt packages etc)? Build logs might be informative on this point. > > Immediate resolution is straightforward, alter the script to refer to > uuidgen (search and replace). > > > I would like to suggest a long term resolution is to rely on > IdentifyOS.cmake to record the OS into a variable and use accordingly. > Overall scope of such a change is beyond my understanding of the existing > cmake structure/organization. > The section of CMake script you mention attempts (correctly, I think) to discover the relevant interface in an OS-agnostic manner, relying instead on the libraries and headers it is actually able to locate.
