Automatic increase build number

kitten · wrote on 28 Jan 2012, 07:24

hi i use "this":https://gitorious.org/giesbert-s-software/autoincreasebuildnr to increase my build number
and i write this in my pro file:
@BuildNo = "D:/Qt/qtcreator-2.4.0/projects/QJalaliCalendar/src/AutoIncreaseBuildNr.exe D:/Qt/qtcreator-2.4.0/projects/QJalaliCalendar/src/version.h"@
also i added autoincreasebuildnrs.exe and version.h in this address but it does'nt do anything what should i do?
i use qtcreator and mingw on windows

i changed my pro file to
@# Create our custom svnbuild target.
win32:svnbuild.commands = AutoIncreaseBuildNrs.exe ..\QJalaliCalendar\src\version.h
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += svnbuild

Hook our svnbuild target in between qmake's Makefile update and the actual project target.

svnbuildhook.depends = svnbuild
CONFIG(debug,debug|release):svnbuildhook.target = Makefile.Debug
CONFIG(release,debug|release):svnbuildhook.target = Makefile.Release
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += svnbuildhook@
but now it plus 2 except 1 for example it goes from 31 to 33

Yes, there is more than one pass. There is a way to keep them apart, but I don't remember, sorry. You should study the qmake reference to find out.

should i use PRE_TARGETDEPS?

kitten · wrote on 28 Jan 2012, 10:33

i found problem:d
i should use sth like this
@svnbuild.target = customtarget
win32:svnbuild.commands = ..\tools\build\updateBuildNumber.bat ..\svnbuild.hxx
else:svnbuild.commands = ../tools/build/updateBuildNumber.sh ../svnbuild.hx
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += svnbuild
PRE_TARGETDEPS += customtarget@

Once information which I found on "this":http://qtcreator.blogspot.com/2009/10/generating-automatic-version-numbers.html site were very useful to me.

I use this with git:

.pro

@GIT_VERSION = $$system($$quote(git describe))
GIT_TIMESTAMP = $$system($$quote(git log -n 1 --format=format:"%at"))

QMAKE_SUBSTITUTES += $$PWD/version.h.in@

version.h.in (tag fomat: v1.2.3)

@#define APP_MAJOR $$replace(GIT_VERSION, "^v(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)-(\d+)-(.)$", "\1")
#define APP_MINOR $$replace(GIT_VERSION, "^v(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)-(\d+)-(.)$", "\2")
#define APP_PATCH $$replace(GIT_VERSION, "^v(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)-(\d+)-(.)$", "\3")
#define APP_BUILD $$replace(GIT_VERSION, "^v(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)-(\d+)-(.)$", "\4")
#define APP_VERSION $$replace(GIT_VERSION, "^v(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)-(\d+)-(.)$", ""\1.\2.\3.\4"")
#define APP_VERSION_RC $$replace(GIT_VERSION, "^v(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)-(\d+)-(.)$", "\1,\2,\3,\4")

#define APP_NAME $$replace(TARGET, "^(.)$", ""\1"")
#define APP_TIME $$GIT_TIMESTAMP@

example output file:

@#define APP_MAJOR 1
#define APP_MINOR 5
#define APP_PATCH 0
#define APP_BUILD 17
#define APP_VERSION "1.5.0.17"
#define APP_VERSION_RC 1,5,0,17
#define APP_REVISION "gb147884"
#define APP_NAME "BalanceCheck"

Thanks for this excellent feedback. You made my day with it.

The only drawback is that there is not much to be found on QMAKE_SUBSTITUTES , but I make a solution.
