libuuid1-devel package is missing for SLES 12 on Power8 - uuid

I am trying to build my application on a SLES 12 on Power8 server (ppc64le).
My application uses libuuid to generate unique identifiers, and my build fails because the libuuid libraries and include files are missing.
I searched for the devel package for libuuid and it is not available on the SLES12 installation DVDs, on the SUSE website, or other rpm search sites.
I looked for the following packages -
libuuid-devel
libuuid1-devel
e2fsprogs-devel
util-linux-devel
Do you know where i can find it?
Thanks!

Found the libuuid-devel package, along with other devel packages, on the SLE 12 SDK DVD - https://download.novell.com/protected/Summary.jsp?buildid=eHNDsyWlokA~

Conan cannot find a certain package for the specified settings, options and dependencies

I am working on a small C executable project using Jetbrains CLion 2019.3, MinGW 8.1, and also the Conan C/C++ Package Manager 1.21.1. I am refreshing my knowledge about C and want to learn about new tools like Conan. My main development environment is Windows, but this project is intended to be cross-platform; I would like to be able to build and run the application on Linux/Unix as well.
Since my application needs to compute signatures using HMACSHA1, I want to use the OpenSSL library, so I added the OpenSSL/1.1.1a#conan/stable package to the requires section of my conanfile.txt file, and I also created a Conan profile for MinGW that has the following options:
toolchain=$MINGW64_PATH
target_host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
cc_compiler=gcc
cxx_compiler=g++
[env]
CONAN_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH=$toolchain
CHOST=$target_host
AR=$target_host-ar
AS=$target_host-as
RANLIB=$target_host-ranlib
CC=$target_host-$cc_compiler
CXX=$target_host-$cxx_compiler
STRIP=$target_host-strip
RC=$target_host-windres
[settings]
os_build=Windows
arch_build=x86_64
# We are cross-building to Windows
os=Windows
arch=x86_64
compiler=gcc
# Adjust to the gcc version of your MinGW package
compiler.version=8.1
compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
build_type=Release
The MINGW64_PATH points to my MinGW installation folder.
When running conan install it complains about a missing package (obviously a dependency package of OpenSSL) that does not exist:
zlib/1.2.11#conan/stable: WARN: Can't find a 'zlib/1.2.11#conan/stable' package for the specified settings, options and dependencies:

ERROR: Missing prebuilt package for 'zlib/1.2.11#conan/stable'
Try to build it from sources with "--build zlib"
Or read "http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/faq/troubleshooting.html#error-missing-prebuilt-package"
Since I am a noob using Conan, I have no clue how I can fix this problem. What needs to be done to fix this issue, and also can I fix this on my own, or do I need help from the package author?
I found a description of the Missing prebuilt package error at https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/faq/troubleshooting.html#error-missing-prebuilt-package, but it does not help much.
so I added the OpenSSL/1.1.1a#conan/stable package to the requires
That package is obsolete, you can check it on Conan Community repository. You should try openssl/1.1.1a# instead, which is maintained by the new Conan Center Index.
conan install openssl/1.1.1d#
Where is the namespace? It has been removed, take a look on more information about recipes.
Since I am a noob using Conan, I have no clue how I can fix this problem. What needs to be done to fix this issue, and also can I fix this on my own, or do I need help from the package author?
As the FAQ recommends, you should build by yourself, running the command proposed by the error message:
conan install openssl/1.1.1a# --build zlib
But I'm sure it won't be enough, you will need to build OpenSSL too. So, the best approach in your situation is:
conan install openssl/1.1.1a# --build missing
Now, Conan will build from sources anything which is not pre-built on server side.
To summarize, this is not an error, like something is broken.
When you asked for OpenSSL 1.1.1a, Conan found the recipe on Conan Center, which explain how to build OpenSSL, however it didn't find your pre-built package, following your settings and options.
Well, MingW is not used in Conan Center Index, because there is no enough demand, all supported platforms and configurations are listed in the Wiki. But this specific recipe should support MingW, since when it was part of Conan Community, MingW was present in package lists for building.
I would say, you can use 1.1.1d instead, which newer and safer than 1.1.1a.

I cannot find python35_d.lib

I have downloaded the 3.5 version of python on my windows 7 home premium computer with version 6.1 software. I wish to use a C main program with python library extensions. I have aded the path to the include folder and the library folder to the dev studio c-compiler. I am testing with the supplied test program that prints out the time but I get a compile error. While it can find Python.h, it can't find python35_d.lib. I can't either. Is it missing from the download or is this another name for a one of the libraries in the download? Thanks
Maybe a little too late, but I found a work around for the missing 'python3x_d.lib' : When installing the python with pythoninstaller.exe, choose the advanced setup options in the first command window of the installation wizard, there choose the option "download debug binaries", then the file python3x_d.lib is automatically installed.
I faced this error when trying to build opencv with python bindings

How do I fix a "version `GLIBC_2.14' not found" error?

I've compiled a C program under Ubuntu 12.04, built a Debian package out of it, and want to install it on a server running Debian Lenny.
Last time I did that (about two months ago) it worked: I could install the package and run the binary. But now I get the following error message:
(binary's name): /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by (binary's name))
Other than upgrading my machine to Ubuntu 12.4, the only significant change we've brought to the code is a call to strdup(), for which I had to enable the _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L feature test macro.
Upgrading the server to the latest Debian version is not my preferred option as it is not under my direct control.
How do I fix this problem?
I think the critical bit of info here is 'upgrading my machine'. So when this worked before, you were building and packaging on something earlier than 12.04? If so, then the issue is that 12.04 now ships with a newer version of libc (apparently 2.14), and your binary now records a dependency on that version of libc. When you try to run on Lenny, which likely uses an older version of libc, the linker detects that the Lenny version does not support the 2.14 API, and fails.
I think the best way forward is probably to do your development and testing on 12.04, and then when you want to create packages for a specific Debian release, use pbuilder or similar to create debs. This will ensure that the libraries used for the packaging build match the target platform.

Solaris 11 / Illumos / OmniOS: Which package has /usr/include/sys/types.h?

The Ubuntu equivalent would be libc6-dev, but I can't seem to find it for Solaris?
How can I get types.h and related files for building packages on Solaris or Illumos?
You need the system/header package.
I found this via http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/en/search.shtml?token=types.h&action=Search
Assuming you use IPS 'pkg search 'types.h''
The Oracle Solaris 11 Cheat Sheet for Image Packaging System could be useful, too.

mod_xsendfile for Win x64?

I'm trying to install the mod_xsendfile Apache Module on Windows (7) x64 (using Apache 2.2) -- yes I'm doomed from the get-go, I know :-). Apparently there is :
a) No Win x64 binary for mod_xsendfile, just a Win32 binary from the module's website
b) No Win x64 binary for apxs from ApacheLounge
I've tried the usual LoadModule xsendfile_module modules/mod_xsendfile.so but the semi-obvious error (httpd: Syntax error on line 127 of C:/Apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/Apache/modules/mod_xsendfile.so into
server: The specified module could not be found.) occurs, it's not Win x64 compatible.
The question remains -- how does one build the module for x64, is that even possible ? I have VS and any tools that might be required.
I just wanted to see if this would improve my Rails protected attachment download speed - currently getting quite ghastly speeds for simple images.
Thank you in advance !
I'm the author of mod_xsendfile.
I provide win32 binaries only as a courtesy. I still recommend you build yourself from the source. That way you can be sure the binary isn't tampered with, not even by me :p
There are currently no official Win64 Apache2 (or 2.2) builds from the Apache Foundation. Since I test my builds against the official binaries I cannot be sure the binaries will work once the foundation releases official Win64 binaries. Hence no Win64 builds from me
Building from the source is pretty much straight-forward if you aren't novice to (in the Windows case) Visual Studio. The binaries ZIP and/or my github repo contain project files you may import into your Apache solution. I was told even the free Visual Studio Express should be enough to do working builds. The thing is open source.
Should there be unanticipated portability problems, I welcome patches ;)
As a last resort you can still run the official Win32 apache + mod_xsendfile on a Win64 box.
I was able to load mod_xsendfile in my system.
Here's my setup:
-Windows 7 Ultimate x64
-Apache/2.2.9 (installed via Xampp 1.6.7)
Basically, I just downloaded the module from here:
http://www.apachelounge.com/download/mods/mod_xsendfile-0.9-w32.zip
...extracted it to the "modules" directory of apache, added "LoadModule xsendfile_module modules/mod_xsendfile.so" to httpd.conf, then restarted apache.
After this, I checked the loaded modules using phpinfo(), and mod_xsendfile is already available.
Here are the binaries for both x32 and x64
