Thanks Brad. Is CMakeVersionSource.cmake run from cmake or as a cmake script from makefiles (I'm assuming the latter is possible)? If the former, then am I right in thinking that if the user has changed branches since running cmake, then the commit version will be wrong? If such a cmake script could be run from a makefile then the current commit and index status would always be accurate.
What do you then do with the CMake_VERSION_SOURCE variable? I'm thinking I'd write what I'm looking to produce to a header file that's included itkVersion.h. -M >-----Original Message----- >From: Brad King [mailto:[email protected]] >Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 2:49 PM >To: M Stauffer -V- >Cc: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Insight-developers] incorporating commit info > >On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 2:16 PM, M Stauffer -V- ><[email protected]> wrote: >> During compilation, I'd like to be able to incorporate the >commit hash >> and at least a flag as to whether there are any local >modifications.
