[Qgis-developer] QGIS 0.8 preview 2 tarball available

[Gavin Macaulay]

Willam & Pascal,

Now there's a problem with svnversion that I didn't think about when I 
added it in! Yes, of course, we should setup the tarball so that it 
doesn't require the svnversion program. For the moment, make up a 
svnversion.h file with contents of:

#define QGSSVNVERSION "anything_here"

and also comment out the lines from ".PHONY : qgssvnversion.h" and below 
in the Makefile.am (all in the top qgis directory), and things should 
work fine. Someone (maybe me) will alter the Makefile.am so that it will 
cope without svnversion for future tarballs.

Regards

Gavin
