Thanks for the positive reactions!
As I said in my initial mail, I have some things already setup and working.
For this I kept things as much as possible the way they are.
Right now I have a routine that checks for existance of <project>.rc and if
it finds one, it updates the versionInfo (auto incrementing the build
number). Next it calls windres via a tprocess. I hooked the routine in
immedialtely after DoSaveForBuild (main.pp).
Where I'm stuck right now is two things:
- I need the check the main program code, toe see if the "{$R
<project>.rex}" sentence is already there and if not add it. I can
read/write to the .lpr file directly offcourse, but I'm sure there is a
better way, but how???
- More or less the same goes for the .lpi file. I want to have a few
parameters in that one. At the moment I'm thinking of:
- a parameter if whether we should include versionInfo or not
- a parameter for whether auto-incementing the build number or
not.
How do I access the .lpi file in a smart way???
Thanks for your help!
ttyl,

As said before I would first like to know:
- am I inventing a wheel?
- is somebody else working on this also? If yes, maybe we can
cooperate??? - since this is very windows specific, should I continue
anyway or maybe just forget about it?
If you think I should continue, then I have some problems I would to
discuss, but first your ideas please.
I think you'll have to write/modify these things into a <projectname>.rc
and then run windres to compile it to .res ? I think keeping the
buildnumber in the project file and automatically incrementing it upon
succesfull build isn't a big problem (Mattias usually does these kind of
things in the IDE...) ?
At the moment the IDE saves all files, before building a project. So that
all build tools have all data.
If we increase the number *after* a successful build, then the the .lpi
file
must be saved again and the executable will have the old version.
I'm not sure, if this is what we want.
This is the delphi behaviour which is imo annoying.
To get the numbers the same, here we always do a build + compile
Maybe better:
If the last build was successful, increase build number *before*
save+building.
That might be better.
