Compiler says uuid.h not found but apt-get says it is

When compiling my C++ project that includes uuid.h I get the compile error:

fatal error: uuid.h: No such file or directory

I’m not sure whats going wrong. It could be my compiler instructions are wrong or that I indeed dont have that file installed (but I don’t think thats the problem).

sudo apt-get install uuid-dev

The above command outputs: uuid-dev is already the newest version

My makefile is simply this:

all:
    g++ -o bin/myapplication src/main.cpp -std=c++11

Edit: In .h file:

#include <uuid.h>

Any ideas what the issue could be?

Answer

I bielive in newer version of the uuid the header is <uuid/uuid.h>
