Hi,

My current project is in SubVersion. I user the SubVersion revision number as my Build number in my project version. Currently I use a revision.inc file which I have to manually edit from time to time (I'm lazy doing after every commit).

Is there a way I can somehow tell Lazarus to automatically populate that file with the correct revision number *before* each compile?

Regards,
- Graeme -

before each compile, you can execute a program (see lazarus/tools/svn2revisioninc.pas) that puts the revision number in a revision.inc, or something. see the "compilation" tab of "compiler options". you can obviously use this method in a Makefile, too (like lazarus does).

I didn't know about the svn2revisioninc.pas file, but I did know about the 'compilation' tax

I added a 'getrevision.sh' in the "Execute Before" Command edit box and checked Build and Compile.

When I compile, Lazarus IDE crashed and closed without showing any error message.

I then thought maybe Lazarus IDE can't find my 'getrevision.sh' script, so I added the following in the Command edit box: $(ProjPath)/getrevision.sh

Again the same thing. When I compile Ctrl+F9 Lazarus IDE simply crashes and closes. :-(

Running Lazarus from the command line, I get the following output as soon as I press Ctrl+F9.

I can run getrevision.sh from the console without problems...

2008/11/19 Graeme Geldenhuys :

that's because the your shell knows how to run scripts? maybe you need to put "sh getrevision.sh" in the edit box.

henry

No, that doesn't seem to be needed. I played around with my script file and stored the 'svnversion -n' output into a variable and then 'echo -n ....' the information out to revision.inc. All the the script obviously. And suddenly, Lazarus is happy with that an no more crashes.

I then reverted to the old script just to be sure, and Lazarus IDE crashes on demand. I have no clue what causes Lazarus to crash in one script and not in another. The both get called the same way in the Command edit box.
