Consider the following options instead:\r\n\r\n  - reading the Python tutorial: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/\r\n  - posting in the \"Users\" category on discuss.python.org: https://discuss.python.org/c/users/7\r\n  - emailing the Python-list mailing list: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list\r\n  - searching our issue tracker (https://github.com/python/cpython/issues) to see if\r\n    your problem has already been reported\r\n--\u003e\r\n\r\n# Bug report\r\n\r\nDuring build process of the python it silent grab external (not in base system, but installed from ports) dependency from `libuuid` (`misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid`):\r\n```\r\nchecking uuid.h usability... yes\r\nchecking uuid.h presence... yes\r\nchecking for uuid.h... yes\r\nchecking for uuid_generate_time_safe... no\r\nchecking for uuid_generate_time in -luuid... yes\r\nchecking for uuid_create... yes\r\nchecking for uuid_enc_be... yes\r\n```\r\nWithout `libuuid` (`misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid`) installed:\r\n```\r\nchecking uuid.h usability... yes\r\nchecking uuid.h presence... yes\r\nchecking for uuid.h... yes\r\nchecking for uuid_generate_time_safe... no\r\nchecking for uuid_generate_time in -luuid... no\r\nchecking for uuid_create... yes\r\nchecking for uuid_enc_be... yes\r\n```\r\n\r\nAnd it's impossible to disable this behavior without additional patches to configure script.\r\n\r\n# Your environment\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Include as many relevant details as possible about the environment you experienced the bug in --\u003e\r\n\r\n- CPython versions tested on: 3.10.9\r\n- Operating system and architecture: FreeBSD 13.1-p5 amd64\r\n\r\n\u003c!--\r\nYou can freely edit this text. Remove any lines you believe are unnecessary.\r\n--\u003e\r\nIMHO, best solution is to add an options to configure script, for example: `--disable-libuuid` and `--enable-libuuid`.\r\nAdditionally: 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`.\r\n\r\nP.S.
