It works with the MS rc compiler (rc.exe), not tested with windres.exe. Additionally, you can have a third version information in the VERSION flag in a .def file or as compiler argument on the command line. The dependency checker tool can show you all three of those version information. CMake could not create this file as e.g. a cmake project() call has no version information (why not? it could be the ProductVersion above).

Re: [CMake] How to set Windows DLL version information
But I thought the whole idea was to get CMake to handle this? It states in the documentation that it should be possible. No exclusion about windows as far as I can see. I saw this thread before but as CMake claims to have this functionality (multiplatform) I thought that would be a much better solution. Comments?

Read the help of the VERSION property: For shared libraries and executables on Windows the VERSION attribute is parsed to extract a major.minor version number. These numbers are used as the image version of the binary. That equals the VERSION tag in a .def file and is unrelated to anything the the rc file. Note that you could do much more things with RC files. The automatism would only be possible if no RC file is in the source file list. Additionally, there would be a need to be able to set a VERSION property per project additionally to setting it for a target. Only then, the FileVersion and ProductVersion could be automatically filled. This is all not present currently. Do you know if there is a way to append this information to the DLL with the linker (FileVersion ProductVersion), instead of generating an RC file? -- Philip Lowman ___ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
Re: [CMake] How to set Windows DLL version information
Add an *.rc file with the correct VS_VERSIONINFO resource in it as a source
file for your dll...
set(source_files
blah1.cpp
blah2.cpp
mydll.rc
)
add_library(mydll SHARED ${source_files})
