Missing versioning information during build process #18

Closed adamrcampbell closed 4 years ago

adamrcampbell commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I seem to have run into an issue when installing this library from scratch onto a remote linux box (Ubuntu 18.04). I am finding that when I build the software, I eventually get to the screen in which the major/minor/etc/ versioning information is displayed. I am receiving "UNKNOWN" for all versioning metrics, which flows onto the actual library itself. Inspecting the /usr/local/lib folder, I am seeing all associated files with this software having the same effect. ie; libfyaml-UNKNOWN.UNKNOWN.la/so/etc.

Do you have any idea why this may be? I have installed this same software only one month ago and didnt experience the same issue. For reference, I downloaded the source code zip from release 0.5.4., and have installed all pre-requisite software as per the README.

Do let me know if you need further information, thank you.

Best regards, Adam

Hello once again,

I seem to have resolved the issue. For whatever reason, if I attempt to build from the source file zip, I get the aforementioned issue. If i use the compressed tar, I dont... I am not too sure why this is, maybe someone who knows more about these types of things can elaborate.

Anyway, thank you for the wonderful software!

Cheers, Adam
