Subject: [PATCH] configure: fix uuid support detection on static build
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This change adds uuid detection using pkg-config helper before falling
back on the standard AC_CHECK_LIB detection for platforms missing
AC_CHECK_LIB function achieves its test by trying to link against the
requested library, without taking care of its dependency
requirements/flags that may differ between different targets.
Therefore, in case of static build, it can fail on the uuid detection
like [1], because the uuid's dependency flags (regarding gettext) are
Instead, using pkg-config to do the check will take care of getting and
setting all required flags.
This issue [1] has been triggered on Buildroot farms.
