Determining Gnokii version from source code

From GnokiiWiki

• There used to be a file with name VERSION containing the version information.
• Since it's gone, the only way of determining the version is by looking insinde the file configure.in

Simple way

1. cd into Gnokii source dir
2. type:
   m4 configure.in | head
3. You'll see something like:

AC_INIT([gnokii],
        [0.6.23cvs],
        [http://www.gnokii.org])

Fancy way

• Create file (for example) with name VERSION.m4

define(`AC_INIT', `divert(0)$2divert(-1)')dnl
divert(`-1')

• Execute GNU m4 with command line:
  m4 VERSION.m4 configure.in
• Output will be similar to:
  [0.6.23cvs]
