| Tim Peters | fc9eeae | 2000-09-07 08:28:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | Python has a "build number" scheme on Unix-like systems that's hard to |
| 2 | explain: |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Python 2.0b1 (#4, Sep 7 2000, 02:40:55) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 |
| 5 | ^^ |
| 6 | The build number there is "#4". |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Each developer's unique build tree generates its own "build numbers", |
| 9 | starting at 0, and increasing by 1 each time a build is done in that tree. |
| 10 | These numbers are never checked in, or coordinated in any other way. It's |
| 11 | just handy for a developer to distinguish among their own personal builds. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The makefile tricks used to accomplish this under Unix-like systems don't |
| 14 | work under MSDev. Here we fake it by hand, but much less frequently, and |
| 15 | do check it in. The build number only changes often enough to distinguish |
| 16 | releases from each other, and from the long "in between" stretches of CVS |
| 17 | development. An account of all Windows BUILD numbers follows; when you |
| 18 | check in a new one, please add an entry to the top of the list. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | How to change the Windows build number: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | + Right-click on getbuildinfo.c from within MSDev. Select Settings ... |
| 23 | + Select the General category of the C/C++ tab. |
| 24 | + In "Settings For:" select "Multiple Configurations ...". |
| 25 | + Check the "Win32 Release" and "Win32 Debug" boxes and click OK. |
| 26 | + In the Preprocessor Definitions box, increment the number after BUILD=. |
| 27 | + Click OK. |
| 28 | + This is not enough to convince MSDev to recompile getbuildinfo.c, |
| 29 | so force that and relink. |
| Tim Peters | 6869245 | 2000-10-14 07:35:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | + Verify that the new build number shows up in both release and debug |
