Hi All,
build SDL failed on Visual 2005 because “SDL_revision.h” not found.

Grab the SDL snapshot from http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/
or you can just put this in SDL_revision.h:
#define SDL_REVISION 0On Sun, Jun 28, 2009 at 5:32 AM, Xavier BERTAUX wrote:

Hey,
this has come up a few times on the list already.
The following post says “Create a file named SDL_revision.h with content #define SDL_REVISION 0”
http://lists.libsdl.org/htdig.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org/2009-May/070432.html
That should fix the problem.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to script this in the Visual C project
file, so it generates SDL_revision.h if it’s missing?
–ryan.
I don’t have time to test this right now, but it might work to put something like
IF NOT EXISTS SDL_revision.h echo “#define SDL_REVISION 0” >SDL_revision.h
in the pre-build event in project properties. If not, it should be possible to put it in a .BAT script and execute that from the pre-build event.–

Well, it probably is, but I don’t understand why the repository lacks
the file in the first place…

Because SDL_REVISION is the current revision number of the Subversion
repository. We can’t store it in the repository, unless we wanted to
commit a changed SDL_revision.h with every change we make.
(and if we commit it separately, it would change the revision number,
which means we would need to commit it again, which would change the
revision number, etc.)
Official builds of SDL have this file with the correct value, and Unix
systems that don’t have it will generate it at build time.
–ryan.
If the file does in fact belong in the repository with the correct
revision number in it, then a script can be written to write out that
file whenever someone checks in, avoiding this issue and automating
the process.

I believe subversion can handle this without any additional scripts,
see “keyword substitution” ->

I believe subversion can handle this without any additional scripts,
see “keyword substitution” ->
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html
From that section:
"Where’s $GlobalRev$?
New users are often confused by how the $Rev$ keyword works. Since the
repository has a single, globally increasing revision number, many
people assume that it is this number that is reflected by the $Rev$
keyword’s value. But $Rev$ expands to show the last revision in which
the file changed, not the last revision to which it was updated.
Understanding this clears the confusion, but frustration often
remains?without the support of a Subversion keyword to do so, how can
you automatically get the global revision number into your files?
To do this, you need external processing. Subversion ships with a tool
called svnversion, which was designed for just this purpose. It crawls
your working copy and generates as output the revision(s) it finds. You
can use this program, plus some additional tooling, to embed that
revision information into your files. For more information on
svnversion, see the section called ?svnversion?."
…so we’re back at Square One. 
–ryan.
