Meson0.57.2 setup failed with option -Duuid=ossp
Hi all,
When i execute meson setup, an error occurred "meson.build:1610:4: ERROR: Expected 1 arguments, got 2."
I saw [1]/messages/by-id/ybd4q3touatzse742yai24uwyvj5zkhwjzxx43k336pfequp6e@zpbkpnpibzzv discussing about the meson minimun version which is 0.57.2.
So I have attached a patch try to fix that.
uuid = dependency('ossp-uuid', 'uuid', required: false)
About dependency() ,"Since 0.60.0 more than one name can be provided, they will be tried in order and the first name to be found will be used."[2]https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-manual_functions.html#dependency

Nice catch! I am able to reproduce the problem and I confirm that the
patch fixes it.

Right, will fix and backpatch. Please note f039c2244110, that has
changed the minimum version to be 0.57.2 on HEAD, and we still allow
an older version on v18 and v17. It does not change your fix, of
course.
