I downloaded source and made a few changes before building. I would like to be able to tell, at runtime, which version is loaded. If it's my own version, or the stock version. 

I believe I can just change a variable, from 5.1.0 to "myversion-1" (or 100.0.0), and then run "select spatialite_version();". I tried changing relevant variables in a handful of files, but when I run configure, those values are overwritten. 

Could someone please tell me what file/variable to edit? :)

Hi Thomas,

1. open with some text editor the "configure.ac" file

2. in the very first lines look for the AC_INIT macro;
its second argument is the version string identifying
the current build.

3. correct it, then save and exit

4. now run the autoreconf command
this will update all build scripts and any related stuff

5. and finally go as usual by calling
./configure
make

bye Sandro

That worked :) Thanks. 
(I did not know of the autoreconf command)
