--- Comment #3 from Joseph Rushton Wakeling <joseph.wakel...@webdrake.net> --- Unfortunately, the proposed workaround didn't work for me when I tried it. If when trying to build phobos I use, make -f posix.mak VERSION=2.071 then I wind up with generated library files: libphobos2.so -> libphobos2.so.0.. libphobos2.so.0. -> libphobos2.so.0.. libphobos2.so.0.. libphobos2.so.0..o ... when obviously I'd expect the names to be so.0.71.0 etc. Tweaking to e.g. VERSION=2.071.0 makes no difference, it looks like phobos' build scripts just can't handle a custom VERSION override like this. --
