Versioning in Global source file #4

Open stuart23 opened 7 years ago

stuart23 commented 7 years ago

File src/OpenFOAM/global/global.C has the following comment:

This file has the extension .Cver to trigger a Makefile rule that converts 'VERSION_STRING' and 'BUILD_STRING' into the appropriate strings.

We need to build the version number into the code somehow

Build version MUST be hard coded so that it stays in the git and not just a cmake option. Consider this option: http://brianmilco.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/cmake-automatically-use-git-tags-as.html
