I can't comment on what Joost gets, but here's a synopsis of what's expected: The command can be invoked in two ways: configure --with-version-suffix configure --with-version-suffix=XXX The first will create a default suffix (1.5.0svn I believe). The second will create a suffix XXX. I used this second command when creating the LyX 1.4.2 package on windows, my suffix being "14x" The idea behind it is to enable different versions of LyX to co-exist on one machine. It does that in different ways on Mac, Unix and Windows. On Unix, where applications do not live in their own "package" directory it will result in something like: /usr/bin/lyx-1.5.0svn /usr/bin/tex2lyx-1.5.0svn /usr/man/man1/lyx-1.5.0svn.1 /usr/share/LyX-1.5.0svn/... /usr/share/locale/en/lyx-1.5.0svn.gmo /usr/share/locale/fr/lyx-1.5.0svn.gmo /home/bo/.lyx-1.5.0svn On Mac and Windows, the only change (JMarc will correct me here if I'm wrong) over a "normal" build is the name of the user preferences directory. LyX 1.4.2 on Windows resulted in C:\Documents and Settings\Angus\Application Data\LyX14x Invoking "configure --with-version-suffix" will set macros in config.h and will also generate src/support/package.C from the src/support/package.C.in template.
