python-libuuid | Faster UUID generation using libuuid | Identity Management library

I am likely to have misunderstood the context. GnuTLS Appears to be a program that works/is made for a linux/debian operating system.

Nevertheless, the following two solutions were effective in:

1. Finding and using the UUID library in Windows.
2. Solving the XY-problem and using GnuTLS on a "windows pc" (with Linux on it).:

For the missing UUID missing library error:

1. Open explorer>go to C: (or other system disc)>search for: uuid.lib>Memorize the path to the/any uuid.lib file. (For me C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.1A/Lib worked)
2. Open Cmake and in UUID_LIBRARY_DIR enter:
3. C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.1A/Lib
4. Then in UUID_LIBRARY enter: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.1A/Lib/Uuid.Lib Where you substitute C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.1A/Lib with the path you found yourself for your own UUID.lib at step 1.

That made CMake overcome the UUID error in windows.

Now for the GnuTLS I could not find a solution in windows itself. But when I read the taskserver installation guide on: https://gitpitch.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskserver-setup#/4/4 I learned that Taskwarrior is not intended to run on Windows itself/natively, but in a linux environment (To be specific, the linux distribution Ubuntu is recommended to be installed on windows as is specified here: https://taskwarrior.org/download/) it takes 1 click to completely download and install the linux distribution (which currently looks like an emulator to me).

In the windows store one can download Ubuntu and other Linux distributions as Debian GNU/Linux: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10. Since I had quite a bit of difficulties installing GnuTLS I tried the debian GNU/Linux distribution, hoping it would be pre-installed in the distribution. The following commands successfully installed taskwarrior and GnuTLS and Taskserver on the debian GNU/Linux:

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install taskwarrior
3. cd /home/a/
4. then create new directory 'taskwarrior'
5. mkdir taskwarrior

6. cd /home/a/taskwarrior

   Task Server installation in Debian:

7. sudo apt install g++

8. sudo apt install libgnutls28-dev
9. sudo apt install uuid-dev
10. sudo apt install cmake
11. **sudo apt install gnutls-utils**

gnutls failed so:

1. **sudo apt-get update**
2. **sudo apt install gnutls-utils**
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install git-core

Source: https://gitpitch.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskserver-setup#/6/1 suggests you enter: git clone --recurse-submodules=yes https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskserver.git taskserver.git that gave the following error: optionrecurse-submodulestakes no value, so rewrite it to:

1. git clone https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskserver.git taskserver.git

2. cd taskserver.git/

3. git checkout master

4. cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release .

5. make

Now you can test the build as described in: https://gitpitch.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskserver-setup#/6/8 Note: the SOURCEDIR now is home/a/taskwarrior/taskserver.git (/test I currently do not know whether /test is a subfolder of the source or the actual source directory)

1. sudo make install

Note: You can Verify GnuTLS installation with:

1. task diagnostics | grep libgnutls
2. sudo apt install taskd

Remaining unanswered The above only answers half of my question (and solves the XY-problem). The installation of GnuTLS on windows itself is still not solved. I currently am unsure about the download

GNU for windows

Latest w64 version on gitlab gnutls_3_6_0_1:mingw64

on https://gnutls.org/download.html.

1. It contains a lib and a bin folder, which seems to indicate that even the files listed under "windows" are intended for a Linux Operating System(OS) (since I think those type of folders are not used conventionally used in windows/I do not know what to do with them/how to install them).
2. That would imply that GnuTLS assumes that the only application of GnuTLS, even on a Windows operating system happens in a Linux system. It could also just be my lack of knowledge/work/understanding in how to use/install those files in windows.

So if anyone can still answer how GnuTLS on windows is intended to be applied, I would greatly appreciate the insight!
