After doing some digging it seems that somehow the pwd command is not 
known when invocated from version.pro

WARNING: Failure to find: version.cpp

and hence not supplying the proper values to access the version.sh file 
that is there to create the version.cpp file.

After some manual editing in version.pro (adding the path that should 
have been determined using the pwd command) I was able to get a little 
further, but still errors as the output of the binary version number is 
not set in version.cpp causing the make process to halt on an unexpected 
semicolon (sorry did not copy the exact error message).

After setting the *myth_binary_version manually to "?", it seems I was 
able to build (again), now waiting for it to finish.

Anyone has an idea on how to get version.pro properly execute the pwd 
command when executing the make process so I can continue without 
hacking like this?

Kind regards,

Jonathan
