ITOM Version

[Oliver Schwanke]

Creating some installer for a customer of ours,

i found the ITOM _VERSION_STRING was reverse-regexed from some global.h file.

A better approach ,and likely more standard, would be to do it as in

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/guide/tutorial/index.html#adding-a-version-number-and-configured-header-file

Also some git info could easily be retrieved and placed in that version/global header to be available to more plugins at cpp compiletime.

‌

Are you interested?

May i implement this?

It would be great if you could implement a proposal for this. Since we have now CMake 3.1 as minimal requirement, the project( VERSION…) tag is now available.

Git information are currently fetched via a python script, called by CMake. They are placed in the version.h, that is also exposed to the SDK and then accessible
to plugins (however: do plugins really need git information of itom?? Usually plugins should mainly rely on the addin-interface-version number and maybe the
designerplugin-interface version number, since they define the binary compatibility). The itom version is currently exposed to plugins / designerplugins by the itom_sdk.h
file, which is the major header file to properly identify the itom SDK.

Ticket still open. Changed version to 4.2.1 ans assigned myself to the task.
