When I am going to build the pdf in Window 7 using MikteX I get the error:
! LaTeX Error: File 'VERSION.tex' not found.

This bug is already reported to MikteX team, yet it is not fixed. According to the following thread at SE the workaround would be to add a dot after the file name:
\newcommand{\version}{\input{VERSION.}}
read-file-without-file-extension-from-hidden-directory

If we add this dot, would the tex file be compiled within your platform (e.g. linux)?
Thanks

Adding a trailing dot didn't work for me; I get a compile error on OSX. I've now embedded the version in the LaTeX document directly.
