Thread: OSSP UUID present but cannot be compiled
While building 9.2.3 on OS X 10.8.2 today: checking ossp/uuid.h usability... no checking ossp/uuid.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: ossp/uuid.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: ossp/uuid.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: ossp/uuid.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: ossp/uuid.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: ossp/uuid.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: ossp/uuid.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ---------------------------------------- ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org ## configure: WARNING: ## ---------------------------------------- ## checking for ossp/uuid.h... yes So you asked for it. Here's how I configured Postgres: ./configure --with-bonjour --with-perl PERL=$PERL \ --with-openssl --with-pam --with-krb5 --with-libxml \ --with-ossp-uuid--with-includes=/usr/local/include \ --enable-integer-datetimes --with-zlib \ --with-libs=/usr/local/lib And here's how I configured OSSP UUID: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-perl=/usr/local/bin/perl \ --includedir=/usr/local/include/ossp I think I have reported this before. Maybe it's not worth worrying about? I seem to be able to install the uuid-ossp extensionand it works. So Ignore? Thanks, David

Yeah, you did: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/62FDD311-1AFC-4296-95D8-5751D1407B71@justatheory.com I still think it's incumbent on OSSP to fix this, not us. Or if they've gone dead, maybe we need to start looking for some other source of uuid support. regards, tom lane

The OSSP UUID library has not been updated since 2008, and their FTP server has been down for a couple of years. Ralf poststo Twitter now and then, but has never responded to any of my DMs or emails. Yeah, I think it's time to look elsewhere -- or to fork it. David
