dev-cpp-users Mailing List for Dev-C++

Yes, I already tried \, \", ", \\", \', ', \\' <file://\\'>, the command
line always ignore the " or '....

When using QT (http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/index.html), you
describe your project in a .pro file, and with qmake command it creates a
Makefile for your project.

If I put the DEFINE in the .pro file, it works OK with "".

But I only need this DEFINE in the release build (and the value of the
define is dynamic, it is the date of the release build), so I'm tring to
insert the DEFINE in the qmake command line (in the release build script),
but I still can't make the define value be a string...

So I try to make a code to receive the DEFINE value and make a string from
it, but it seens to be impossible in C/C++ :(

I need to think in another option...

For now in the release build, I append the DEFINE to the .pro file, and
after the build, I remove the define... (not a good practice...)

PS: I post a message in Qt mailling list about it but no one answer until
now :(

It is quite alright sending it to my personal email. Infact, if you =
would wish to converse through that means, I have no problems with it.

I assume, now, that you're passing the -D option to the compiler to =
assign defines.

If that is the case, Here is a test program I just wrote to make it =
work.

---code--

#include <stdio.h>


int main ()
{
    printf("%s\n\r", RELEASE);
    return 0;
}

--code--

And I compiled it this way (used my linux machine and GCC, but dev-cpp =
uses mingw, so you can set the compile options)

gcc def.c -DRELEASE=3D\"2.2\" -o def -ggdb


Notice the use of quotes? Try it.=20

Output:

 ./def
2.2


Hope this helps,
Mike.

  Hi Mike,
  This would work if the #define was in the code.

  But my problem is that the the #define came from a command line, and i =
CANT put the "" on it.
  (As I said before, I cannot change the value format)

  I need something in the code the gets the #define value that is not a =
string and make a string from it.

  I tried de # opertator

  #define to_string( x ) # x
  const char* VERSION =3D to_string( RELEASE_DATE );

  but I get "RELEASE_DATE" and not "2005_11_11_-_11:11:11"

    How about trying

    #define RELEASE_DATE "2005_11_11_-_11:11:11"

    That makes the defined as a string.

      Hi

      I have a #define like this:

      #define RELEASE_DATE 2005_11_11_-_11:11:11

      And I cannot change the value format :(

      How can I create a string (char *) form the RELEASE_DATE define???

How about trying

#define RELEASE_DATE "2005_11_11_-_11:11:11"

That makes the defined as a string.

  Hi

  I have a #define like this:

  #define RELEASE_DATE 2005_11_11_-_11:11:11

  And I cannot change the value format :(

  How can I create a string (char *) form the RELEASE_DATE define???
