[zeromq-dev] compiling zeromq with uuid dependency

[Francisc Simon]

Hi,

I've tried yesterday to compile zeromq 2.2 on my ubuntu server.
The result was that i alway got the error : configure: error: cannot
link with -luuid, install uuid-dev.
And I don't want to use apt-get install libuuid-dev, because in our case
the installation process is part of a independent deployment model
I hope the package i've downloaded is the right one :-)

uuid-1.6.2.tar.gz from
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.ossp.org/pkg/lib/uuid/uuid-1.6.2.tar.gz

My uuid folder content is:

├── bin
│ ├── uuid
│ └── uuid-config
├── include
│ └── uuid.h
├── lib
│ ├── libuuid.a
│ ├── libuuid.la
│ ├── libuuid.so -> libuuid.so.16.0.22
│ ├── libuuid.so.16 -> libuuid.so.16.0.22
│ ├── libuuid.so.16.0.22
│ └── pkgconfig
│ └── uuid.pc
└── share
└── man
├── man1
│ ├── uuid.1
│ └── uuid-config.1
└── man3
└── uuid.3

After that I tried to compile zeromq:
./configure --prefix=/location/zeromq --with-uuid=/location/uuid

I've also tried to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /location/uuid/lib but it
does not change anything I get the same error.

By the way from my point of view it would be nice to have a --with-uuid
section in the ./configure --help listing :-)

Thx
Frank :-)
