kicawinbuilder 3.4-2 do not update kicad version after a building

Hi m,

It seems to work the same way with Linux builds. Once version.h file is created, the version stored inside is used until it is removed.

Regards,
Orson

Actually, this is a bug in the kicad source. It didn't used to be broken.
There is a call to " make rebuild_cache" in kicad- winbuilder and as is
noted on version.h it was designed to re-generate the version information.
The kicad cmakelists.txt would have to be fixed to fix this bug.

thanks for the tool
Maurice

Thanks.

I will look at the KiCad source and commit a fix when I get time.
Thanks for the bug report!

Best Regards,

Brian.

I noticed this problem, but figured it was due to some of my own tinkering. I noticed that the rebuild-cache log file was always empty, so I tee'd the rebuild-cache command to make sure it was running. Once I did that the version.h file was correctly regenerated.

Thanks for the information Ian,

Perhaps then Winbuilder is still the source of the problem.

Best Regards, Brian.

hi Ian,
could you please post the code?

thank you
Maurice

Here's the code block for the rebuild_cache command. You can see I just commented out the OUTPUT_FILE line and used the existing tee command, just like done one block below for the full build.

execute_process(
    COMMAND ${MINGW_MAKE} ${MAKE_KI_OPTS} rebuild_cache
    COMMAND ${TEE_COMMAND} "${LOGDIR}/make_${BUILD}_cache.log"
 WORKING_DIRECTORY "${BUILDDIR}/${BUILD}"
# OUTPUT_FILE "${LOGDIR}/make_${BUILD}_cache.log"
    ERROR_FILE "${LOGDIR}/make_${BUILD}_cache.log"
    RESULT_VARIABLE kicad_NOT_BUILT )

I've got no idea why this worked, but I noticed the problem, made the above change, and then ran it while I took care of a few other things. When I saw it worked I forgot to follow up on why exactly it was broken in the first place.

thanks :)

This bug is always present in kicad-winbuilder-3.4-3
