Recently I have moved to appending the svn rev to the end of my patch version. An example of this is the following:
set (StudyManager_VERSION_MAJOR 0) set (StudyManager_VERSION_MINOR 0) set (StudyManager_VERSION_PATCH 0) #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # If subversion is found append the svn rev to the patch version. # FIND_PACKAGE(Subversion) IF(Subversion_FOUND) Subversion_WC_INFO(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project) MESSAGE("Current revision is ${Project_WC_REVISION}") Subversion_WC_LOG(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project) MESSAGE("Last changed log is ${Project_LAST_CHANGED_LOG}") set (StudyManager_VERSION_PATCH ${StudyManager_VERSION_PATCH}.${Project_WC_REVISION}) ENDIF(Subversion_FOUND) Under windows I am using the cygwin svn executable for this. The find module does not automatically find subversion however if I enter it in cmake-gui in xp64 all is well and I get the expected patch version appended. However trying this with windows 7 results in cmake never completing the configure step. I could not figure that out till I started executing the svn commands cmake would inside my build tree. c:\cygwin\bin\svn info That worked fine and made me think this bug was some incompatibility with windows 7. Eventually I looked at my code again and saw that I was also using the svn log command so trying that in the command window showed the reason for the problem. I got prompted for the password to access the svn server. Since I use TortoiseSVN from explorer I had never set the password for the console svn executable. -- John M.
