Wrong version in compiled ffmpeg

[fxpoet]

same problem. (ubuntu 22.04 LTS + Cuda 12.1)
in console logs.

...
building ffmpeg - version 6.0
FFmpeg-release-6.0.tar.gz has already downloaded.
Extracted FFmpeg-release-6.0.tar.gz
...

$cat ./pacakges/FFmpeg-release-6.0/RELEASE
6.0

why...? I think it is ffmpeg's problem.

I also encountered this problem.

Apparently FFmpeg's build system picks up the version number from Git (https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/ffbuild/version.sh#L6).

Building outside the ffmpeg-build-script directory or using a non-Git version of this script (i.e. a ZIP archive from the release page, not from git clone) probably solves the issue, although I myself didn't test it by repeating the build process.

I confirmed the above works.

Please see #104

This only happens if you did a git clone. Either delete or rename the .git folder to solve the issue.
