Thanks for the prompt reply Pascal.

I already knew how to "hard code" it within configure.ac. I just wanted to
know if we had a more elegant way.

Thanks again, it is awesome to have this help since I am alone working on
this :)

Hi all,

I am building Wireshark for Windows, Linux and Mac. I have been reading
and analyzing the make-version.pl script and I have found that I am not
a perl expert: I have no idea about how to use version.conf.

Can anyone tell me what to put in version.conf and what arguments to use
when calling make-version.pl if I want to add an extra version like
"-ABCD"?

For instance, Wireshark 1.99.1-ABCD. Sorry for the newbie question!


Hi Juanjo,

this is supported natively for Windows, you just need to edit config.nmake
to set the VERSION_EXTRA variable.
For Linux/Mac, this does not seem to be supported out of the box. What you
might try (but I have not verified this myself and I'm more a Windows guy
so autofoo is kind of magic for me) is to edit configure.ac and put your
string in the empty square brackets of the line:
m4_append([version_micro_extra], [])

Other might have a better answers ;)

Regards,
Pascal.
