uuid.h/luuid problem, please help

Hello,

sory for annoying topic, but i've tried all possible solutions in the forum.

After ./update I cannot compile a simple kernel.

First i recieved a uuid.h not found error during compilation.

I made a research and found that the problem was in the absence of uuid-devel package, so I reinstalled it. But this hasn't helped.

So i found uuid.h file in /usr/include and put it in the required directory under ../uClinux-dist/user/mtd-utils/.../include/uuid/ and the error gone, but another one has come up: 

 CHK     include/version.h
  LD      mkfs.ubifs/mkfs.ubifs
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -luuid
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: ***  Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/home/Vasek/linux_tools/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user/mtd-utils/36d8de81049c9c908740b690c664b5bd3703ccd6'
make: ***  Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/home/Vasek/linux_tools/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user/mtd-utils'
make: ***  Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/home/Vasek/linux_tools/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user'
make: ***  Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/home/Vasek/linux_tools/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user'
make: ***  Error 1

I'm at the unstable-nios2mmu branch in linux-2.6 and at trunk in uClinux-dist.

Please, help. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi, 

     CHK     include/version.h
  LD      mkfs.ubifs/mkfs.ubifs
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -luuid
    The linker says "I searched the library 'libuuid.a' or 'libuuid.so', but I couldn't find it".

    So please try

    Library Configuration ---> <select>

    --- *** Additional Blackfin dist libs ***

    ..........

    [ ] Build dmalloc

    [* ] Build e2fsprogs-libs

    [ ] Build eXosip

    ..........

    .

    Hi Kazu,

    thank you very much for your help.

    Actually I haven't tried your solution, but switching to the nios2 branch (i was at unstable-nios2mmu before), updating and reinstalling e2fsprogs-devel package did the job.

    Thanks again.

    Now I can move forward.
