Hi, I had some trouble with different versions of libftdi installed on the same system -- leading to confusion because i didn't notice the wrong version of the library was linked. I found no way to extract the versionnumber as a normal user.
I modified the code to provide the minor and major version number to the user trough a normal functioncall. Therefore, I introduced a new headerfile, which is generated by cmake. Two preprocessor #defines MAJOR_VERSION and MINOR_VERSION are build from the ones provided in CMakeLists.txt. They can be accessed by a call to ftdi_library_version(int* major, int* minor) The technique used to provide version information is taken from online-tutorial, see http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake_tutorial.html I'm sure, my solution is far from perfect, but it works for me. Sending the patch to provide some input for a discussion about how to implement his properly. See the patch for more details, its not very complicated. There are currently two TODOs: - I only use cmake, but there are people using autotools, I suppose... - Nicer would be to provide the git-hash of the current source, like openocd does. Doing this, the information is more precise. I added a second, trivial patch to git-ignore vim's temporary swp-files...
