SOLVED : Can svn2revision be fooled or bypassed?
lazarus / 3-General

I am compiling Lazarus by compiling from a local copy of Graeme's git
mirror, and because I am not compiling in the working directory (I
copy it to a separate directory) svn2revision is outputting
"Unversioned directory" as the svn revision.

Can it be bypassed or fooled in some way, so I can add both the
Lazarus and FreePascal versions manually?

In Tool->Configure Build lazarus you can uncheck the option to use it.

If you are using command line, add USESVN2REVISIONINC=0 into your make
options.

I tried it like this in a build script and it doesn't seem to work

Code: [Select]make all PP=${FPC_COMPILER} USESVN2REVISIONINC=0

You need to generate ide/revision.inc manually.

I am generating it manually but the output says 'exported' even when I
set 'USESVN2REVISIONINC=0' in the 'make' command.

UPDATE: The solution works, I wasn't creating the revision.inc
properly. It has to be the way svn2revision creates its own
revision.inc files. I had some different syntax there.
