libuuid don't link on Ubuntu 12.04

I'm trying to build VHDTool on Ubuntu 12.04 but it's failing when linking:

gcc -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wno-unused-parameter -g2   -c -o     vhdtool.o vhdtool.c
gcc -luuid  vhdtool.o   -o vhdtool
vhdtool.o: In function `vhd_footer':
/root/vhdtool/vhdtool-master/vhdtool.c:456: undefined reference to `uuid_generate'
/root/vhdtool/vhdtool-master/vhdtool.c:457: undefined reference to `uuid_unparse'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [vhdtool] Error 1

The packages uuid-dev and libuuid1 are installed, ¿is there any way to fix the Makefile?

CC      := gcc
CFLAGS  := -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wno-unused-parameter -g2
LDFLAGS := -luuid

all: vhdtool

vhdtool: vhdtool.o
vhdtool.o: vhdtool.c

clean:
        rm vhdtool vhdtool.o

Thanks!

Solution

  • There is a bug in the Makefile. Replace LDFLAGS with LDLIBS in the third line.
