Run User Program Before Compilation of a C-File

Peter Keller

I'm calling a user program to make a file called buildNr.h which contains

#define _BUILD_ 123


This file is included in the project.
I inserted the command into the "Options for Target - User - Run User ..."
This works but the disadvantage is, the tool is called every time a file gets compiled and since the project contains >12 files its timeconsuming and increments _BUILD_ by 12.
Any better solution?

    "Actually it's no problem, but if I have to compile many times until the new feature is finished (bug corrected ;-)) I don't like to demonstrate this by a very increased build number."

    I see.

    So this is not really something that should be automated at all!
    It should be part of your release process - only when the "release candidate" has ticked all the boxes should it be rebuilt with a new build number...
