Python has a "build number" scheme on Unix-like systems that's hard to
|
||
|
|
explain:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Python 2.0b1 (#4, Sep 7 2000, 02:40:55) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
|
||
|
|
^^
|
||
|
|
The build number there is "#4".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each developer's unique build tree generates its own "build numbers",
|
||
|
|
starting at 0, and increasing by 1 each time a build is done in that tree.
|
||
|
|
These numbers are never checked in, or coordinated in any other way. It's
|
||
|
|
just handy for a developer to distinguish among their own personal builds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The makefile tricks used to accomplish this under Unix-like systems don't
|
||
|
|
work under MSDev. Here we fake it by hand, but much less frequently, and
|
||
|
|
do check it in. The build number only changes often enough to distinguish
|
||
|
|
releases from each other, and from the long "in between" stretches of CVS
|
||
|
|
development. An account of all Windows BUILD numbers follows; when you
|
||
|
|
check in a new one, please add an entry to the top of the list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to change the Windows build number:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+ Right-click on getbuildinfo.c from within MSDev. Select Settings ...
|
||
|
|
+ Select the General category of the C/C++ tab.
|
||
|
|
+ In "Settings For:" select "Multiple Configurations ...".
|
||
|
|
+ Check the "Win32 Release" and "Win32 Debug" boxes and click OK.
|
||
|
|
+ In the Preprocessor Definitions box, increment the number after BUILD=.
|
||
|
|
+ Click OK.
|
||
|
|
+ This is not enough to convince MSDev to recompile getbuildinfo.c,
|
||
|
|
so force that and relink.
|
||
|
|
+ Verify that the new build number shows up in both release and debug
|
||
|
|
builds.
