February 18, 2013 [dmd-internals] Building verstr.h on OSX | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
 | The line from posix.mak:
/bin/echo -n \"`cat ../VERSION`\" >verstr.h
produces a file verstr.h that only contains the character "
Anyone know how to fix this?

It works correctly on Mac OS X 10.6. It outputs:
"2.062"
Including the citation characters.
