Run User Program Before Compilation of a C-File

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?

  • Hi Peter

    there is a solution.
    I add a project folder with a textfile name.txt
    In the dialogbox option for name.txt enter in the field Custom Arguments: yourprog.exe output.h
    File type is Custom file
    Check the Always build and every time you compile the desired header is created one time.
