Re: [PATCH] configure.in: add --disable-libuuid option (Was: libuuid (Re: blkid: util-linux-ng vs. e2fsprogs))

Sorry for the delay; I've been incredibly busy.  I'm guessing you
never actually bothered to build and test the patch which you
submitted?

I tried building with --disable-libuuid, when it tried to compile
e2fsck, it crashed and burned.  The reason why was because LIBUUID
wasn't getting set properly:

% grep LIBUUID MCONFIG  | head -1
LIBUUID =  

And the reason for that is....

I'll have a corrected patch checked into e2fsprogs.
