I'm using snapshot of 2007-11-17 and an already compiled version of autoconf git from same date (maybe this causes the trouble?). $ autoconf --version $ autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61a.299-9066 $ build-aux/git-version-gen . .version; echo $ UNKNOWN but when I use my host version: $ autoconf --version $ autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61 $ build-aux/git-version-gen . .version; echo $ 2.61a.299-9066 Best regards, Alex Jim Meyering <address@hidden> wrote: > That should work. > Have you updated recently? > There were missing dependencies until a week or so ago > that would make it so a new version string did not propagate > through the code. > Here's how I've just tested it: > $ build-aux/git-version-gen . .version; echo > 2.61a.300-5ccf > $ cd /tmp > $ $OLDPWD/build-aux/git-version-gen . .version; echo > 2.61a.299-9066 > But before doing that, be sure to get the latest, since > git-version-gen's API changed recently, too. _______________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!
