Hi,
Just a thought: Why don't you use the date and time? The compiler can provide
those for you. We use two static functions for this:
const char *GetBuildDate ()
{
return __DATE__;
}
const char *GetBuildTime ()
{
return __TIME__;
}
Of course if you don't do a clean build, then the date and time won't get
updated. In the past we used a different method, just passing the date and time
through the compiler directly:
gcc -D`date +"%Y%m%d %H%M%S"`
Using the subversion revision number is also nice. For that, you could probably
using the "exec_program" command that executes "svn info". After that you'll
need some regex magic to retrieve the revision number from that.
best,

Subject: [CMake] CMake generated build number?
Hi,
I'd like to have a monotonically increasing "build number" auto generated by
CMake. This would be for official builds of the software, so we could track
algorithm changes / results. I'd also be happy if CMake could pull the latest
SVN revision number. This would go in a -D during the build.
Any clues how to do this?
Thanks,
-dan
