This is really a make question and not a gcc question. I created the following Makefile (which I called svn-version.mk), and then in my normal Makefile (I use handcoded Makefiles), I put this: all: svn-version.h include ${PATH_TO_SVN_VERSION}/svn-version.mk and make my code have #include "svn-version.h" My makefiles also do dependency generation, which will automatically add the svn-version.h file as a dependent. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ ########################################################################### # # svn-version.mk - Creates the svn-version.h file # ########################################################################### #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Rule to update svn-version.h file.
