Okay, found & read Chris Hanson's blog article from 2005: http://chanson.livejournal.com/125568.html
I totally agree with the guy who wrote the first comment! So, looks like agvtool is the wrong path to follow if I want an integer build number that just increases everytime I hit cmd-R or cmd-Y or cmd-B or variations of those. :-( Am 05.02.2010 um 11:40 schrieb Stefan Wolfrum: > A question about versioning.
