Have a look at the Makefile.fpc of the compiler. It creates a revision.inc
on the fly and adds a define that is used in the sources. See below for
the fragments:
REVINC:=$(wildcard revision.inc)
ifneq ($(REVINC),)
override LOCALOPT+=-dREVINC
ifeq ($(REVSTR),)
SVNVERSION:=$(wildcard svnversion$(EXEEXT))
REVSTR:=$(shell svnversion .)
export REVSTR
endif
endif
function full_version_string:string;
begin
full_version_string := version_nr+'.'+release_nr+'.'+patch_nr+minorpatch
{$ifdef REVINC}
+'-r'+{$i revision.inc}
{$endif REVINC}
;
end;
