Hi,

Because we want to use DMC in a automated build system, we want to know at the start of the build process which DMC version we are building with. I cannot find a commandline flag with which the compiler version is dumped to the console. Just running it without options gives output, but there are keypresses needed then. Can maybe a -v option be added that shows the compiler version details?

The predefined macro __DMC__ is the compiler version.

Hi,

Thanks, but we use a perl autobuild environment and in the build set have a config part where we list the compiler version. For this we just run the compiler to print out its version info. See http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/scoreboard/integrated.html for a list of all the builds currently running. For DMC we just want to do dm -v to print out the version info.

What about just running SCPPN.EXE?
That will give you the compiler version.

Hi,

That works. Thanks for the hint. I will use that but it would be nice if all executables have for example -v to print out the exact version info.

It would also be nice if all compilers used the same switches/flags for compilation. It should be an ISO standard me thinks!

It would be ok for me if all compilers just have an option that just show the version info. Most compilers we just do -v and get a error about unsupported option, but luckely they then also give the version number
