In the code below, I would like the value of THE_VERSION_STRING
to be taken from the value of the environment variable MY_VERSION
at compile time
namespace myPluginStrings {
const char* pluginVendor = "me";
const char* pluginRequires = THE_VERSION_STRING;
};
So that if I type:
export MY_VERSION="2010.4"
pluginRequires
will be set at "2010.4", even if MY_VERSION
is set to something else at run time.
UPDATE: (feb 21) Thanks for your help everyone. It works. As I'm using Rake as a build system, each of my CFLAGS is a ruby variable. Also the values need to end up in quotes. Therefore the gcc command line for me needs to look like this:
gcc file.c -o file -D"PLUGIN_VERSION=\"6.5\""
Which means this is in my Rakefile:
"-D\"PLUGIN_VERSION=\\\"#{ENV['MY_VERSION']}\\\"\""
If I recall correctly, you can use the command line parameter -D
with gcc to #define
a value at compile time.
i.e.:
$ gcc file.c -o file -D"THE_VERSION_STRING=${THE_VERSION_STRING}"
