[GeoMechanicsApplication] Embed Versioning into built DLL files

[mcgicjn2]

Embed versioning in at the geomechanics DLL's but preferably in all generated files from Kratos.

Achievable through CMAKE, liaise with CIMNE.

@roigcarlo : Is this possible from your side ?

[mcgicjn2]

i.e. in the file meta data.

[roigcarlo]

@mcgicjn2 Could you develop more. Not sure to follow.

Do you want the versioning to be accessible by the code? to be directly embedded or accessible via the binary strings etc..? If it is only metadata added by CMake there should be no problem.

Right now we have a KratosVersion object which is build along the core and makes the following info accessible:

KRATOS_MAJOR_VERSION
KRATOS_MINOR_VERSION
KRATOS_PATCH_VERSION
KRATOS_SHA1_NUMBER
KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE

@roigcarlo would this be a problem if I did it environment wide, or would you prefer if I limit it to our own application ?

looks like a cool feature for the entire Kratos to me Didnt even know this existed

Is this a windows-only feature?

Is this a windows-only feature?

version info is usually baked into shared object names on Linux :(

note the resulting symlink hell

@matekelemen sure, didnt think of this, thx

[roigcarlo]

If it is compatible (even if not used) with Linux no problem

[mcgicjn2]

Perhaps this is windows only, as it usually requires the compilation of the rc (resource file) in order to work. I (We) will look into this further, before preparing a solution.
