How can I know the version of my application? [Qt3]

[Opilki_Inside]

Hello!

My pro-file consist a string:
VERSION=1.0

How can I get the version, wich I wrote in pro-file?

[zlatko]

maiby QSettings can help you, but i'm not sure

[Opilki_Inside]

QSettings does not consist information about version

[zlatko]

so use QFile and take it manually

[Opilki_Inside]

This method is not correct. Is there any functions to get the version number?

VERSION=1.0

How can I get the version, wich I wrote in pro-file?

It is from qmake manual:

VERSION - The version number of the target library, for example, 2.3.1.

So what? I need to get this VERSION from source code of my application...

This template exist for UNIX libraries only (for formation of a name of the library file, such as libmy.so.1.1.0 ). If you wish to have the version of your app then keep it in a code as a constant.

So provide some method to get it For example look for 'static const char *version="1.0";' in your code. Use grep or whatever tool you like.

If this is using windows, then qmake/make creates standard windows VS_VERSION_INFO resource information for your application. This can be accessed via the win32 function GetFileVersionInfo().

Obviously this is not platform independant. Unfortunately i don't know how this is handled on other platforms.

I somehow accidentally came across to a solution like this:

DEFINES += MYAPP_VERSION=0x000501"

QString version("%1.%2.%3").
	.arg(MYAPP_VERSION & 0xFF0000)
	.arg(MYAPP_VERSION & 0x00FF00)
	.arg(MYAPP_VERSION & 0x0000FF); // "0.5.1"

QString version("%1.%2.%3").
	.arg(MYAPP_VERSION & 0xFF0000)
	.arg(MYAPP_VERSION & 0x00FF00)
	.arg(MYAPP_VERSION & 0x0000FF); // "0.5.1"
