Version not generated correctly

[xiota]

Describe the bug

Version string isn't generated correctly. 86ae0fe is affected.

$ xmap -V
xmap Development Build. Commit UNKNOWN

To Reproduce

1. clone repo
2. configure and build with cmake
3. install and run xmap -V

Expected behavior

Commit hash should not be "UNKNOWN".

Desktop

• OS: Arch Linux
• Version: "UNKNOWN"

Additional context

Problem may be in src/CMakeVersion.txt

aur/xmap-git has been adjusted to produce output like following:

$ xmap -V
xmap AUR 2.0.2.r0.g86ae0fe

[idealeer]

good for me on Ubuntu 22.04:

$ git clone https://github.com/idealeer/xmap.git
$ cd xmap
$ cmake .
$ make -j4
$ make install
$ xmap -V
xmap Development Build. Commit 86ae0fe - Fri Aug 16 15:16:29 2024 +0800

please try again.

I think the problem is that I run out-of-tree builds.

$ cmake -S xmap -B  build -G Ninja
$ cmake --build build
$ build/src/xmap -V
xmap Development Build. Commit UNKNOWN

A workaround is to use:

GIT_DIR="$PWD/xmap" cmake --build build

As far as the AUR package is concerned, it has been revised to match the package (xmap AUR 2.0.2.r0.g86ae0fe).
