RE: [Log4cpp-devel] Version property sheet added to DLL

[David R. <dre...@mo...>]

There is a a description of the VERSIONINFO resource here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=3D/library/en-us/tools/=
r
c_7x2d.asp

The file version is in 4 separate entities in the binary format
(FILEVERSION). From the docs: Specifies the binary version number for
the file. The version consists of two 32-bit integers, defined by four
16-bit integers.

Could you please explain to me in a couple of words how template strings
(like @PACKAGE_VERSION@) are replaced (what tools are used, a sample
command line for doing it, where the replacement values come from)? How
do I generate the doxygen config file for example?

I used this project's VERSIONINFO as a base for the values I put in
log4cpp:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dqsd/dqsd/src/DQSDTools/D
QSDTools.rc?rev=3D1.24&content-type=3Dtext/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Sorry for dunking you in the doubly cold waters of lawyers and Microsoft
;-).

Indeed it is. Is a definition of it's file format available somewhere?=20
Does the file version need to be three separate intities? It would be
convienent to template the file with @PACKAGE_VERSION@ in order to keep
the version number up to date. Also it would be nice to put the
copyright holders somewhere, since LifeLine and me aren't the only ones.
Maybe it's easiest to refer to the
(informal) 'the Log4cpp Project', but I not familiar enough with this
"legalese" stuff to know whether that's OK. But I guess this can simply
be added to the "LegalCopyright" field? Anyway the LGPL is the
definitive copyright statement for log4cpp...=20

Thanks,
