Description Luke Mewburn 2004-08-24 03:18:24 UTC 
A common method of building is:
   mkdir work
   cd work
   ../configure [various options]
   make
so that you don't pollute your main source with build cruft.

samba 3.0.6 added configure functionality to extract & display the samba version
at configure time.  (This wasn't present in samba 3.0.5).
However, using the method above, configure prints:
     cat: include/version.h: No such file or directory
     SAMBA VERSION: 
     cat: include/version.h: No such file or directory

The fix is trivial; edit configure.in and change ``include/version.h'' to
``$srcdir/include/version.h'' on lines 11 & 14.  I can provide a patch if necessary.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
