[Solved] How to append version to target [Win XP - Qt5.0.2]

[Max13]

Hello !

I'm trying to append the version number of my app, in the target filename. I tried "this":http://qt-project.org/faq/answer/how_can_i_add_version_information_to_my_application but it's not showing.

Here is an extract:

@VER_MAJ = 0
VER_MIN = 2
VER_BLD = $$cat(BUILD, lines)
VERSION = $${VER_MAJ}.$${VER_MIN}.$${VER_BLD}
message($$VERSION)

TARGET = PMF-Desktop
TEMPLATE = app@

The thing is: When I message, the version is ok, but the filename is still "PMF_Desktop.exe". I tried to append it to the "TARGET" variable, or put it in "TARGET_x.y.z =" which BTW I don't understand (messaging it shows empty line). When I append it to "TARGET", it's OK but QtCreator can't start my app (shows something like: permission denied or file doesn't exist).

Any idea of how to do it (maybe the way changed with Qt5) and how to use "TARGET_x.y.z" ?
Thank you.

i'm not sure if it works but try using MODULE_VERSION instead of VERSION.
p.s. dont forget to rerun qmake ;)

Where did you get that variable ?
It's not even in the "variable reference":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/qmake-variable-reference.html :p

I've just tried it, nothing changed. Thank you anyway.

from the Qt sources.

But you could do this?
@
TARGET = PMF-Desktop$${VER_MAJ}
@
or do you want the full version in the target name?

@TARGET = PMF-Desktop_$${VERSION}@
Actually, this is working, but I have a "$$system()" above which get the build number from a file and increment it.

I don't know why, but when I message() in the .pro file, it's shown 3 times (which created the bug above, about permissions), so the variable is incremented 3 times (I have a subdir project) and the generated file isn't the same as the one QtCreator wants to start.
ANyway, it's not the same issue, so I can consider this one done =P
