- I ran into this problem, too. If you compare the Makefile in the
- directory GENERICISA with the Makefile for your system, you will
- find the problem. I think the template used by config Makefile is
- out of sync with the sources.
-
- What is missing is creating a new file, version.c, and then compiling
- it to produce a version.o. There is a script that does some fancy
- stuff to increment version numbers (and it does it incorrectly, too)
- so each time you do a make, the version number gets incremented.
-
- I patched my Makefile and I haven't yet gotten around to fixing up
- the template.
