The upside of this approach is that it's simple. The downside is that it is only run (and thus your version header is only updated) whenever CMake runs. It's possible for the source code to change without triggering a re-run of CMake. Consequently, we use a custom command to call a python script at build time. The script writes out the header with the up-to-date version info. tyler _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
