[Dev-C++] Accessing Project Data

[lordSauron <lor...@gm...>]

This is really more IDE specific to DevC++ 4.9.9.2 <http://4.9.9.2>, but I=
=20
was wondering, how do I access the current project version information.

I know that the project can be told to keep the version information, but I=
=20
just don't get how to access this from within my programs, without having t=
o=20
go into project properties and look at the current version and then copy=20
them into the program myself. Does anyone know how to do this?

hi

have a look into your projects directory, there should be a header file with the version info.
its name is "projectname"_private.h .
so if your projects name is "mytest" for example the file would be called "mytest_private.h" .
just be sure not to alter its content, dev-cpp itself alters it with every compile!

hi

just include the header like every other header in one of your project-files :
#include "myproject_private.h"

inside this file there are 3 "defines", like this :
#define VER_MAJOR		0
#define VER_MINOR		1
#define VER_RELEASE	1

well thats all you need! do whatever you like with this version information.
for example print it to the console :
printf( "version of my project is : %i.%i.%i\n", VER_MAJOR, VER_MINOR, VER_RELEASE );

hope this helps.
if not please elaborate your specific problem a little bit more.

greets
Markus
