Building from todays tarball ( 2004-01-19) there i still problems :) perhaps because cvsversion.h now required by main.c in /wiretap directory, I suspect the script gets called
to late. I did the following change to make it work :

Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about:
I didn't know we *have* a main.c in the wiretap directory.

I suspect he meant "gtk directory"; there isn't a main.c in the wiretap directory, and nothing in that directory uses cvsversion.h, but gtk/main.c does use "cvsversion.h".

The "proper" workaround ist to just issue a make cvsversion.h in the
toplevel directory.

Wasn't Olivier Biot suggesting that this be done on every make?
