Hi there,

  I am inspecting a system using cmake, this system has the following:

$ ls -al /lib/libuuid.so.1*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    14 2008-01-10 17:51 /lib/libuuid.so.1 ->
libuuid.so.1.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10720 2007-12-06 16:55 /lib/libuuid.so.1.2


  the question is: can I link to this library ? If yes, how do I do
that in cmake ?

  I was hoping it should be possible, since it's a c lib and the
symbol can be found:

$ nm -D /lib/libuuid.so.1.2 | grep uuid_generate
0000000000001700 T uuid_generate

Read the ld manpage.

Normally you have a symlink /lib/libuuid.so which points to that file, so it is linked against this file. As cmake is working with absolute path you can use the file directly too. But then you have do search for it manually.

Thanks,
