Error while setting up the local-environment (undefined reference to `uuid_generate')

[BhargavaRam123]

here are the steps i followed

1. first i went to the readme and followed the given instructions like installing the following packages: sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 qtbase5-dev qtwebengine5-dev \ libqt5svg5-dev qt5-image-formats-plugins aria2 \qttools5-dev-tools qtchooser qt5-qmake \qtbase5-dev-tools.
2. Then i noticed kiwix-desktop also depends on other libraries then i come to know about the kiwix-build . Then i cloned the repo locally and followed the setup instruction in the readme then i ran the command kiwix-build kiwix-desktop --config native_static
3. now i went back to the kiwix-desktop directory then i exported the package config path and ran the following commands qmake . and make.
4. Now this is where the error occured, error description
