Can carbide set major, minor and build vesion?

[imzadi_il]

Hi,

Can carbide set the major, minor and build number at the PKG file? For example, I want my build number to be my svn revision number. How can I use carbide to do that automatically so every call to makesis will read the revision?

Thanks

I think you are asking for a PKG editor, which Carbide doesn't currently do. You need to set these versions yourself in the PKG file. To see what Carbide can do with PKG files see the Carbide.c++ docs, there a topic on "working with PKG files".

Hi timm-ah,

Thanks for your reply. I looked at the help files of carbide but didn't find anything helpfull. Is there other IDE that can provide this functionality?

I made a small tool that reads current revision on SVN from .svn\\dir-wcprops file or from .svn\\entries file and writes it to the PKG file in the place needed.

I found no other way.

The code is packed in an executable that I run from project's root.

One sample code below (it works with Tortoise SVN):

bool GetRevisionNumber(char* aRevision)
{
	bool retVal = true;

	char rev1[5];
	char rev2[5];
	
	rev1[0] = 0;
	rev2[0] = 0;
	
	char lineContent[256];
	char tokenToFind[30];
	
	//get the revision information from ".svn\dir-wcprops" file
	FILE* rev1File = NULL;
	char rev1FilePath[50];
	strcpy(rev1FilePath, ".svn\\dir-wcprops");
	if((rev1File = fopen(rev1FilePath, "r")) != NULL)
	{
		char *revisionPtr, *auxPtr;
		
		strcpy(tokenToFind, "/!svn/ver/");
		
		while (!feof(rev1File))
		{
			fgets(lineContent, 256, rev1File);
			
			if(revisionPtr = strstr(lineContent, tokenToFind))
			{
				revisionPtr = revisionPtr + strlen(tokenToFind);
				auxPtr = strchr(revisionPtr, '/');
				auxPtr[0] = 0;
				
				strcpy(rev1, revisionPtr);
				
				break;
			}
		}
		
		fclose(rev1File);
	}
	
	
	//get the revision information from ".svn\entries" file
	FILE* rev2File = NULL;
	char rev2FilePath[50];
	strcpy(rev2FilePath, ".svn\\entries");
	if((rev2File = fopen(rev2FilePath, "r")) != NULL)
	{
		char *revisionPtr, *auxPtr;
		
		strcpy(tokenToFind, "committed-rev=\"");
		
		while (!feof(rev2File))
		{
			fgets(lineContent, 256, rev2File);
			
			if(revisionPtr = strstr(lineContent, tokenToFind))
			{
				revisionPtr = revisionPtr + strlen(tokenToFind);
				auxPtr = strchr(revisionPtr, '"');
				auxPtr[0] = 0;
				
				strcpy(rev2, revisionPtr);
				
				break;
			}
		}
		
		fclose(rev2File);
	}
	
	if(rev1 || rev2)
	{
		strcpy(aRevision, rev1);
		if(strcmp(rev1, rev2))
		{
			cout << "Revision number obtained but not confirmed! Check your .svn folder!" << endl;
			retVal = false;
		}
		else
		{
			cout << "Revision number obtained and confirmed! Current revision: " << aRevision << endl;
			retVal = true;
		}
	}
	else
	{
		cout << "Could not obtain revision number! Check your .svn folder!" << endl;
		retVal = false;
	}

	return retVal;
}

Hi iulian_moldovan,

Wow! thanks for your efforts. I just saw it. You're the king!

Friday I installed Tortoise 1.4.0 and had to make a change in the code: the folder .svn\dir-wcprops changed to ".svn\all-wcprops" and the folder ".svn\entries" does not contain version information in a "programatically-readable" form

So the code simplifies to:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//gets the revision number from some .svn folder files
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
bool GetRevisionNumber(char* aRevision)
{
	bool retVal = true;

	char rev1[5];
	
	rev1[0] = 0;
	
	char lineContent[256];
	char tokenToFind[30];
	
	//get the revision information from ".svn\all-wcprops" file
	FILE* rev1File = NULL;
	char rev1FilePath[50];
	strcpy(rev1FilePath, ".svn\\all-wcprops");
	if((rev1File = fopen(rev1FilePath, "r")) != NULL)
	{
		char *revisionPtr, *auxPtr;
		
		strcpy(tokenToFind, "/!svn/ver/");
		
		while (!feof(rev1File))
		{
			fgets(lineContent, 256, rev1File);
			
			if(revisionPtr = strstr(lineContent, tokenToFind))
			{
				revisionPtr = revisionPtr + strlen(tokenToFind);
				auxPtr = strchr(revisionPtr, '/');
				auxPtr[0] = 0;
				
				strcpy(rev1, revisionPtr);
				
				break;
			}
		}
		
		fclose(rev1File);
	}
	
//	//get the revision information from ".svn\dir-wcprops" file
//	FILE* rev1File = NULL;
//	char rev1FilePath[50];
//	strcpy(rev1FilePath, ".svn\\dir-wcprops");
//	if((rev1File = fopen(rev1FilePath, "r")) != NULL)
//	{
//		char *revisionPtr, *auxPtr;
//		
//		strcpy(tokenToFind, "/!svn/ver/");
//		
//		while (!feof(rev1File))
//		{
//			fgets(lineContent, 256, rev1File);
//			
//			if(revisionPtr = strstr(lineContent, tokenToFind))
//			{
//				revisionPtr = revisionPtr + strlen(tokenToFind);
//				auxPtr = strchr(revisionPtr, '/');
//				auxPtr[0] = 0;
//				
//				strcpy(rev1, revisionPtr);
//				
//				break;
//			}
//		}
//		
//		fclose(rev1File);
//	}

	if(rev1)
	{
		strcpy(aRevision, rev1);
		cout << "Revision number obtained! Current revision: " << aRevision << endl;
		retVal = true;
	}
	else
	{
		cout << "Could not obtain revision number! Check your .svn folder!" << endl;
		retVal = false;
	}

	return retVal;
}
