I tested it. It works fine chez moi. make clean ; ./configure --lots-of-options ; make Can somebody say in more detail what the problem is? I can't even find anywhere it is used within simgear. The rationale for quoting it (and the corresponding FG version string) is simple: It is hard to do anything with the version identifier unless it is treated as a string. It's not really a "version number" since it is not a number. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
