Missing version string if not building from git clone #405
Description
Description
Currently, CMake fetch version string from git tag. This work if we are building directly from a cloned directory. However, if we build from the source package from the release page, the version string becomes empty since there is no git tree in it.
This does not cause the build to fail, nor does it affect the function of the program. The version string simply shows up as empty in the terminal.
In the AUR packaging, as a workaround, I simply create the version file using sed after the configuring step:
sed "s/@GIT_VERSION@/${VERSION}/g" "src/version.h.in" > "src/version.h"This affect v3.0.0, and probably older version, too. I come to check, but I must have forgotten to report it before.
On which OS does the problem happen?
Linux
