[Tfug] How do I get automake to set build number?

[Andrew Ayre]

I use a small program from the subversion developers that checks the
revision of all files in a folder and then uses the highest revision found
for the #define value. So although revision numbers are per file I use it
essentially per release. Unfortunately I'm required to develop using Windows
so the program I use is for Windows. But maybe there is something similar
for linux? I would be suprised if there wasn't.

Andy -
Thank you -
I'm using cvs -- I get an automatic version number for every file I change,
but not for the entire thing.
I was looking into subversion a while back.  I forget why I didn't start
using it.  Partly because I didn't find out how to get version logs into the
files  $Log: and that kind of stuff.  KDevelop helps me fill those in every
time.
