Silent grab external dependency from libuuid during build without possibility to disable it
Bug report
During build process of the python it silent grab external (not in base system, but installed from ports) dependency from libuuid (misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid):
checking uuid.h usability... yes
checking uuid.h presence... yes
checking for uuid.h... yes
checking for uuid_generate_time_safe... no
checking for uuid_generate_time in -luuid... yes
checking for uuid_create... yes
checking for uuid_enc_be... yes
Without libuuid (misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid) installed:
checking uuid.h usability... yes
checking uuid.h presence... yes
checking for uuid.h... yes
checking for uuid_generate_time_safe... no
checking for uuid_generate_time in -luuid... no
checking for uuid_create... yes
checking for uuid_enc_be... yes
And it's impossible to disable this behavior without additional patches to configure script.
Your environment
- CPython versions tested on: 3.10.9
- Operating system and architecture: FreeBSD 13.1-p5 amd64
IMHO, best solution is to add an options to configure script, for example: --disable-libuuid and --enable-libuuid.
Additionally: base system have uuid.h and misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid have uuid/uuid.h - better check for uuid.h if --disable-libuuid used and for uuid/uuid.h if --enable-libuuid.
P.S. Sorry for my poor english.
