I have installed libuuid using the command below.

sudo apt-get install uuid-dev

And is properly installed from the terminal.

Then, i include <uuid/uuid.h> header file. But while calling function uuid-generate as under it is giving reference error 

  uuid_t newUUID;
  uuid_generate(newUUID);
ubuntu uuid

You have to link against libuuid (see /usr/lib/libuuid.so and /usr/lib/libuuid.a). Add linker option -luuid to tell the linker to reference the library file.

I have resolved the above issue. Instead of using terminal to install the uuid generator, following is my step that i followed:

  1. call sudo apt-get install uuid-dev command on terminal
  2. Go to properties menu item, under project menu and add uuid library by selecting add package option.
  3. Then do include header #include uuid/uuid.h
