a colleague of mine stumbled upon the issue with missing libuuid again.
He has an Ubuntu machine with Mathematica 12. On this machine the package uuid-dev is not installed, so libuuid is not installed on the system.
When he calls find_package(Mathematica COMPONENTS MathLink), he gets an error message of the form:
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
Mathematica_uuid_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)
linked by target "gm2calc.mx" in directory /home/pathron/software/GM2Calc/src
If I interpret the error message correctly, it seems that the command
find_library (Mathematica_uuid_LIBRARY uuid)
inside FindMathematica.cmake fails to find libuuid on his system. In this case the variable Mathematica_uuid_LIBRARY is set to NOTFOUND. However, the script just continues without checking if libuuid has been found.
If my interpretation is correct, then a possible fix would be to raise an error if libuuid has not been found.
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Alexander Voigt
