Are you using source control? I use a combination of version in the main CMakeLists.txt and the svn rev. Variables from these get into a generated project header file that is also generated in the main CMakeLists.txt John _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
