Yes, you can use add_custom_command(...) to run a script to get the revision number, but I don't think you can use that to alter CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME, which has been set at cmake time.

The call is during CMake time. Which means you need to rerun cmake if your
repository version runs. I guess you could try an add_custom_command(...) and
run the SVN command to get the revision number and make it a prebuild step
for one of your targets. Then it should get run at every build. -- Mike

Hi Mike,

When, during the build process is the call to the SCM made? If it is at
build time, rather than cmake time, then how do you do it?

I do something like this in my CPack file:

set(DREAM3D_VERSION_SHORT
"${DREAM3DLib_VER_MAJOR}.${DREAM3DLib_VER_MINOR}")

set(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME
"DREAM3D-${DREAM3D_VERSION_SHORT}-${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}")


Where the DREAM3D_Lib_VER_* variables are generated with a call to my SCM

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?
