Yeah, those options are pretty pointless on any platform - except Windows.
Let's make absolutely certain we're "on the same page": Options for
Project: x -> Version info.
Perhaps the whole thing should be greyed out for targets where there
isn't a reliable reader? (Apologies is somebody already has organised a
reader for e.g. Linux, I've missed some messages in the thread).
And for that matter, how can one merge svn information into it? :-)
All my apps, linux & windows, gui & console, supports a --version
parameter.
I think that --help and --version should be universally supported where
stdout is available, particularly on unix targets where GNU is relevant.
When I want to include repository information like SHA1 (git)
or Revision (svn), then I use include files that set a value for a
version constant. I do the same for the FPC version.
So do I. But is the version insertion stuff is relevant, how can that be
transferred automatically?
Wishlist: a predicate to allow a file's existence to be tested, so that
a project can only try to include it if it's actually there.
