compiling svns with the rev number included in the exe name

[LuisR14]

how is it possible to make it that the rev that i compile comes out with the rev number attached to the executable's name? (for ex: dolphin-rxxx, and dolphin-rXXXm when modified )

lol, i was wondering the same thing
as for the numbers, im not sure if you can use variables from source in the output filename
or something like that :/

It uses the SVN_REV_STR constant defined in ./Source/Core/Common/Src/svnrev.h

yea what i'm talking about is that on pcsx2 when i compile it (and have a environment variable in system properties set), the program that is compiled comes out like "pcsx2-rXXX" , so what i'm asking is how is it possible to do that with dolphin

k at the time of reading this i didn't understand what you meant. , but now i know , the "m" means "modified"

k so i made this post just to say that i was able to implement the "compile revision number into dolphin's exe name" , and if anybody wants it then just tell me (i could just turn it into a patch and attach it here), oh and i changed the thread's title to more clarify what i meant

could you tell me how you managed to do it?
