Hi: I think I've got it (the CMAKE bit, for whichever svn command is eventually used) nearly ...

It would be PRE_BUILD, but that appears not to work at present with Unix makefiles. "Note that the PRE_BUILD option is only supported on Visual Studio 7 or later. For all other generators PRE_BUILD will be treated as PRE_LINK." (verified by trying it as well) But, I think thanks in part to you pointer, I found the following and it seems to do what I want, using ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET ( in test form here, the actual command would be whatever eventually seems the best Revision-control software command) along with ADD_DEPENDENCIES. Then it always puts the build date into the include file (and crashes in this case because it's not embedded in a character string. That's how I could easily tell if it happened before or after the compilation!) But, this requres 'echo' , or at least '>>' , does any one know if the 'file(append' or a builtin cmake-command can be invoked here to do the same on any platform? Or does it need a platform specific tool for each platform? Thanks for the lead!
