The script I use is this. I wrote it when I was using project builder
and I couldn't seem to make it accept a perl script, hence calling perl
inside the script.
#!/bin/sh
perl -w -e '
open F, "<version.tst"||die;
$ver = <F>;
close F;
chomp $ver;
++$ver;
open F,">version.tst"||die;
print F "$ver\n";
close F;
$date = `date`;
chomp $date;
open F, ">ver.cpp"||die;
print F "unsigned long version_num = $ver;\n";
print F "const char *version_time = \"$date\";\n";
close F;
'
Then you just include ver.cpp and have Xcode run this script every time
you build. This gives you a version number accessible via
extern unsigned long version_num;
and a build date accessible via
extern const char *version_time;
Now that I think about it, the script should probably be changed to emit
const char *const version_time = ...;
But that's really not very important.

Hi list,
is it possible to have an automatically incremented build number that
is
accessible from within a Cocoa programme? I'd like to output that
number
to a log file every time my app starts.
I looked at agvtool and it seems that it might be usable but I don't
know whether I have access to the version number. Furthermore, I added
"agvtool next-version" to a custom shell script build phase and now
XCode complains that the project file has changed every time a compile
my app.
