* Makefile: Fix compilation of Windows resource fileJohannes Sixt2014-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the git version number consists of less than three period separated numbers, then the Windows resource file compilation issues a syntax error: $ touch git.rc $ make V=1 git.res GIT_VERSION = 1.9.rc0 windres -O coff \ -DMAJOR=1 -DMINOR=9 -DPATCH=rc0 \ -DGIT_VERSION="\\\"1.9.rc0\\\"" git.rc -o git.res C:\msysgit\msysgit\mingw\bin\windres.exe: git.rc:2: syntax error make: *** [git.res] Error 1 $ Note that -DPATCH=rc0. The values passed via -DMAJOR=, -DMINOR=, and -DPATCH= are used in FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION statements, which expect up to four numeric values. These version numbers are intended for machine consumption. They are typically inspected by installers to decide whether a file to be installed is newer than one that exists on the system, but are not used for much else. We can be pretty certain that there are no tools that look at these version numbers, not even the installer of Git for Windows does. Therefore, to fix the syntax error, fill in only the first two numbers, which we are guaranteed to find in Git version numbers.
