You can look at what is done in git itself with the version number. There is a GIT-VERSION-GEN that generates a GIT-VERSION-FILE with the version number (it only updates the file if the version number has changed). Then in the makefile you specify how to create it and which programs depend on the GIT-VERSION-FILE: GIT-VERSION-FILE: .FORCE-GIT-VERSION-FILE @$(SHELL_PATH) ./GIT-VERSION-GEN -include GIT-VERSION-FILE program: GIT-VERSION-FILE HTH, Santi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
