Re: [brlcad-devel] Cygwin Build Attempt

[Brian D. <bit...@gm...>]

Upon further research:

cat >>confdefs.h <<_ACEOF
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "$PACKAGE_VERSION"
_ACEOF

$PACKAGE_VERSION is a env variable that is likely made up of sub env
variable MAJOR, MINOR.. ETC and in Cygwin env vars have trailing line ending

Thoughts?
