It is actually the way FindSubversion.cmake behaves when subversion
(svn) is not found or the svn command fails when you are not building
from an svn checkout of the Kicad source. If you change all instances
of SEND_ERROR to STATUS in the local version of FindSubversion.cmake
message calls, this will solve your problem. With this change,
FindSubversion will just warn you that something went wrong instead of
failing and use the default version string in defined in
build_version.h. I thought I fixed this problem already. Apparently I
never committed the changes. I must have accidentally rsynced over the
changes when transferring my source between systems.
