hi,
i’m trying to compile paraview on ubuntu 18.04;
it is built with:
- CMAKE\_BUILD\_TYPE=Release
- CMAKE\_INSTALL\_PREFIX=/usr/local/
- PARAVIEW\_ENABLE\_PYTHON=ON
- PARAVIEW\_INSTALL\_DEVELOPMENT\_FILES=ON
in the consecutive compilation step i get:
/usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so: undefined reference to `uuid_generate@UUID_1.0' /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so: undefined reference to`uuid\_unparse\_lower@UUID\_1.0’
do you know how that can be fixed?
one of the solutions i found online (e.g. here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45584275/getting-error-usr-lib-lib64-libsm-so-undefined-reference-to-uuid-unparse-l](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45584275/getting-error-usr-lib-lib64-libsm-so-undefined-reference-to-uuid-unparse-l)) is to add a " -luuid" to a variable that collects libs
do you know where can i try it out? (which libs might be missing this flag?)
thank you!
and best wishes,
gosia

What link step is failing with the error message?

dear Ben,
thank you for the prompt answer!
here are the last few lines from the terminal:

Try adding `-luuid` to `X11_SM_LIBRARY`. I don’t know if it should take a space or semicolon, so I’d try both to see which works.

thank you!
can you please point me to a file in which i should set up this variable?
grep in paraview does not show anything, also echo $X11\_SM\_LIBRARY is empty

It’s in `CMakeCache.txt` in the build directory.

thank you!
i see now (i didn’t find it before as in m CMakeCache.txt it is “X11\_SM\_LIB”)
i tried:
1. //Path to a library.
X11\_SM\_LIB:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so -luuid
it gave this error:

hi,
do you know where i could add this “-luuid” flag to build the pvdataserver? (tried few places with no success)
thank you!

Doing `make VERBOSE=1` shows the command line which fails. There should be `-luuid` in there somewhere.

What happens if you compile this small program:
```auto
#include
#include
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
SmcProtocolVersion(NULL);
return 0;
}
```
via:
```auto
gcc test.c -lSM -luuid
```
If this doesn’t work, I suspect something is wrong with the system. What happens without the `-luuid` might also be interesting.

when i compile with -luuid i get:

A segfault is expected. I guess more will have to be done to track down where the libuuid requirement is actually coming from and how to get it into the build.

dear Ben,
thank you for your continuous help,
finally i decided to try with paraview 5.6.0 - there the error was the same at first, but then adding -luuid as in:
X11\_SM\_LIB:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so;-luuid
in CMakeCache.txt helped and paraview compiled without problems,
there must be some difference between PV 5.5.2 and 5.6.0 related to that error, as i didn’t install/reinstall any other software on my laptop in between,
thanks again!
best wishes,
gosia

Thanks for reporting back. There probably is some difference, but if anyone needs to know in the future, bisecting would probably show the change which fixed it.

Hi, I don’t know if I should start a new thread but I’m having the same issue with ParaView 5.6.0.
I tried adding the following to my CMakeCache.txt as suggested above:
X11\_SM\_LIB:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so;-luuid
but I do not seem to be able to get past this issue. Running make with VERBOSE=1, the result line which fails is:

Can you give any advice?

Similar to what Ben said I think one just needs to do this in the CMake-way. Therefore, add the following line to the file ParaView-v\*/CMakeLists.txt:
`SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -luuid")`
I’m not sure where to put it, I just placed it before the first `include(...)` statement. Solved the issue at least for me.
