Ticket 179: unable to call uuid_compare on OS X
on OS X, vendor uuid_compare is contained in a runtime library, which you cannot avoid linking to (see ¤http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/DOCUMENTATION/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/uuid_compare.3.html).
My hacky solution to this problem was to add the following code to uuid.h.in, before compiling and installing ossp-uuid.
/*
OS X ships with 'int uuid_compare(uuid_t uu1, uuid_t uu2)' in the c library.
This will always be picked up when linking. So use a non conflicting name.
*/
#ifdef __APPLE__
#define uuid_compare ossp_uuid_compare
#endif
Maybe there's a better way to solve this?
