Description David Houlden 2010-12-30 22:08:01 UTC

Version:           SVN trunk (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

When building the latest SVN version from source, the version number used to be updated in the Help -> About KMyMoney dialog. It is no longer being updated.

Reproducible: Always

It shows currently 4.5.90-svn1208572 here. Where is the problem? In trunk, only the revision number gets updated, but only if you run 'svn update' and 'cmake' and rebuild. Otherwise it does not get updated. That is by design.

Comment 2 David Houlden 2010-12-30 23:06:32 UTC

I'm not sure when it changed but until very recently, if I ran "svn up" in my source tree then cd to the build directory followed by make, the svn revision number was always updated to the same number shown by "svn info". If I remember correctly, make used to rebuild main.cpp and something else. The number was always updated even if there were no other updates when I did "svn up".

Comment 3 Jack 2010-12-30 23:21:40 UTC

I also learned this the hard way.  You have to run cmake to get the SVN revision into the right file.  If you just run make, it only runs cmake automatically for you if something has changed.

Comment 4 David Houlden 2010-12-31 00:02:24 UTC

OK, thanks. I guess I have just been lucky and make has run cmake for me when I've updated.
