I'd like to solve the following problem, but have not found a way how to yet:
Our source is rebuilt every night, but only if some sources changed (e.g. the build tree is not removed, only the source tree is updated from CVS). What I want is to include the build date/time in a versionInfo.cxx sourcefile (with __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros) if and only if the executable needs a rebuild. That is, the executable has a commandline option "-version" which should print the information "build time: xxxxx" So what I need is something like a rule: "if the exe needs a rebuild (any dependant source changed except the versionInfo.cxx file), rebuild the versionInfo.o file and link it to the executable" Any ideas ? -- Best Regards/Schöne Grüße Martin ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
