Burning svn revision into binaries

[Justin Verity <jt...@gmail.com>]

I am trying to put the SVN revision # in my binaries

In my Makefile I do this:

SVNDEF := -D'SVN_REV="$(shell svnversion -n .)"'
CFLAGS = @CFLAGS@ -pipe $(SVNDEF)

And in my user code I do this:

cout << "SVN Revision is " << SVN_REV << endl;

But the output I get is:

"SVN Revision is exported"

Can anyone help?

I think you put your backticks in the wrong place, causing the shell to 
see "SVN_REV=####" which results in it setting that variable and 
printing "exported".  Try:

SVNDEF := -DSVN_REV='svnversion -n .'

Or it might have been:

SVNDEF := -DSVN_REV=$(shell svnversion -n .)

svnversion gives "exported" if it's run from a non-working-copy
directory.  Are you sure you are running it from a working-copy
directory?  Or does your build process use svn export instead of svn
checkout to fetch the source?  Does "svnversion ." give you a rev number
when you run it manually?
