I've looked a bit into the issue. Neither of them use the GNU build system. In essence, it boils down to running "git describe" as part of the build process, generating a file with it. However, I do not know how I may achieve that. It should probably be run during the ./configure stage. Maybe someone can provide some advise ;) > > David Lang > > P.S.
