Hi,
I'm packaging this software for a source based distribution (Exherbo). During the compilation, we are not in a git repository (I use Github tarball). Because of that, the
$(shell git tag --describe
) will emit an error even if I pass theVERSION
tomake
like:make build VERSION=0.12.3
The error is harmless and the build still succeed but it can make the user think that the compilation will fail :-)
