Description
The msvc builds appear to be failing due to a missing version.h[1]. I'm attaching a patch that works for me.

I believe this change will break builds from tarballs, since genversion.pl isn't shipped. If we're taking this approach, it probably should ship with the MSVC makefiles archive.
Also, comments in genversion.pl need updating to reflect this revised approach.
And there's no point configure generating msvc/version.h now either, nor in us shipping it. I'll fix the last part - the rest is better done by someone who can test on MS Windows.

While we could fix this by updating the msvc makefiles after the 1.0.3 release, we're stuffed if we discover that changes to xapian-core are needed. So marking this as a blocker.

Agreed that builds from tarballs are broken currently.
Agreed that there's no point in configure generating msvc/version.h (or shipping it) - we should have a consistent way of generating the version.h file, whether its a tarball or an svn build.
msvc/version.h.in and msvc/genversion.pl should be distributed together, since they're useless separately. There's no particular reason that they should be separate from the rest of the build files - perhaps they should both be moved into xapian-maintainer-tools/win32msvc/ with the other files.

Changes made - genversion.pl and msvc/version.h are now in win32msvc/, and I've removed the generation of version.h from the tarball.

Setting OS correctly; adding Richard to the Cc list (since I assume he wants to be!)

Yes, it just needs testing. I'll try and get round to it shortly if Charlie doesn't.

Patch applied.
I assume that with this patch, everything now works? I'll close the bug, but please reopen if I've mis-inferred.

Fixed in 1.0.4
generate include\xapian\version.h from msvc\version.h.in
