Comment #11 on issue 3473 by [email protected]: Patch: Rewrite
STEPMAKE_GET_VERSION.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3473
It seems to me that it's one trickery against another, but the old code has
been tested for ages. What I see (aclocal.m4 lines 43-48) is a special case
for programs that use a date instead of a version number (is anybody using
this besides fontforge?) and we are parsing its combined stdout and stderr.
Since we know that fontforge outputs the relevant info to stdout, it would
be sufficient to just skip stderr. So that's a one-line change. Now
consider that the hash issue you are facing is something that comes up only
if you build fontforge from git (and in-tree, as I came to realize when
this hash was missing from my out-of-tree build) and I don't get why we
would introduce a major rewrite here.
