Hi,
commit 4d8de281b5834c8f5e0be6ae21e884e69dffd4ce Author: Heikki Linnakangas <[email protected]> Date: 2024-07-27 13:53:11 +0300 Fallback to clang in PATH with meson Some distributions put clang into a different path than the llvm binary path. For example, this is the case on NixOS / nixpkgs, which failed to find clang with meson before this patch. I think this is a bad change unfortunately - this way clang and llvm version can mismatch. Yes, we've done it that way for autoconf, but back then LLVM broke compatibility far less often. commit a00fae9d43e5adabc56e64a4df6d332062666501 Author: Heikki Linnakangas <[email protected]> Date: 2024-07-27 13:53:08 +0300 Fallback to uuid for ossp-uuid with meson The upstream name for the ossp-uuid package / pkg-config file is "uuid". Many distributions change this to be "ossp-uuid" to not conflict with e2fsprogs. This lookup fails on distributions which don't change this name, for example NixOS / nixpkgs. Both "ossp-uuid" and "uuid" are also checked in configure.ac.

Nor is there another supported uuid implementation available on windows.
