'Version' field value 'devdrop-3.3.3-22-g1c3a681-dirty': version number does not start with digit

[snyggapa]

possibly my lack of knowledge but trying to build this in a Linux (debian 11) host inside a chromebook

LinuxSetup_AsRoot worked fine
LinuxBuild worked fine

installing the .deb returns this below.

Is this a problem with the dev build and if so can the command line be forced to build the last "numeric" version 3.3.3 somehow - or am I missing something.

Any help appreciated

I managed a workaround by changing line 29 on CMakelists.txt to

   set( VERSION "${VERSION}-devdrop" )

not sure if this is the "correct" fix or not but it worked. Now I am just fighting getting the USB device to be seen on my chromebook..
