libuuid not available on Windows

It appears that libuuid is not available on Windows, as the install raco pkg install libuuid fails, because ffi-lib: couldn't open "libuuid-1.dll" (the module does not exist).

Is there a way to fix this?

It is possible to work around the issue by using the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Another possible workaround:

In pollen.rkt:

  • Change: require libuuid to require uuid.
  • Change any instances of uuid-generate to uuid-string.

I am not sure of the consequences of this change, but at least the ptree is loading now and I can see the website.
