It is entirely possible for a FreeBSD (or another) system to have both system uuid.h + -lc and external uuid/uuid.h + -luuid libraries installed simultaneously. If that is the case, prefer the system library (to avoid unnecessary dependencies) and make sure that the code does not attempt to combine both.

It is an old issue, how was it solved in existing distributions? Or your configuration is too uncommon? Do we need to backport this change or only change the main branch? |
|
To be honest, I don't remember if it affects regular FreeBSD (which I haven't used for quite a while already) or if it was specific to Gentoo/FreeBSD (discontinued in ~2019). In either case, I don't really have an environment handy and I don't really have the energy to set one up to check if it is still useful. |

Then I am closing this PR. In any case thank you for it. |
