[not a bug] r2632: --version don't display svn revision

[david]

Hi

Ubuntu 11.04 64bit
v3.5.3-dev-GNUC: 40502 [64bit]-Oct  8 2011 15:39:48, SVN: [Rev: ], [STREFLOP]
running threads = 0

 ./megaglest --version
v3.5.3-dev-GNUC: 40502 [64bit]-Oct  8 2011 15:39:48, SVN: [Rev: ], [STREFLOP]

I think that's because this is not a subversion working copy but an actual build. Keep in mind this is just a development build, so such things will not neccessarily get fixed.

[david]

I thought it was important to help testing and report bugs.
I will get revision number other way.

[tomreyn]

Yes, helping to test and reporting bugs is very appreciated, David. Please continue to do so.
If you are working in a subversion working copy then the SVN revision should indeed be properly detected by the game, if it does not then it's probably a bug.

My point was just that this issue, if it exists, is most likely limited to development builds but will not occur on releases.

You can use the svn info command to determine which revision the subversion working copy is on. The svn update command will also display it when it has completed updating.

Thank you Tomreyn, I didn't know svn info command.
I've forgotten to read doc since I use svn with some plugins and not with docs.

I post this thread because when you launch
megaglest --version

the rev didn't displayed.

but currently it does:
v3.5.3-dev-GNUC: 40502 [64bit]-Oct 11 2011 21:32:42, SVN: [Rev: 2632], [STREFLOP]
running threads = 0

So this thread is solved now!!!!

Both windows and linux compilations require the project source to have been checked out using svn. If the folder is not an svn folder then the rev info will be missing.

Thanks
