Is it possible to add, at build time, a revision number to the installer file
name produced by CPack? I understand that to get the revision number at build
time one must run a command and I have used that technique to generate a source
code header, but I cannot figure out how to apply it to the package file name.
The simplest method would appear to be to add a post-build command that renames
the file to the package target, but it appears that this cannot be currently
done [1].
A previous list message [1] suggests the following:
If you want to hook it up automatically, you could write your own
version of the package target that just calls cpack itself in
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}. That target could have a post-build rule that
does the rename.
When I tried that. It created an infinite loop with cpack calling make and make
calling cpack.
What would I need to do to correctly implement this solution? Is there another
way to do it?
