Getting values from pro files in Qt

Question

I am using Qt 4.5 in Windows XP. My pro file has the variable VERSION = 1.0. Now i need to read this variable and get its value (1.0) from the source c

Answer 1

I'll elaborate on this a bit.

In the YourApp.pro:

VERSION = 0.0.0.1
DEFINES += APP_VERSION=\\\"$$VERSION\\\"

In the main.cpp:

#include 
QCoreApplication::setApplicationVersion(QString(APP_VERSION));

Wherever else in your sources, e.g. in the imaginary controller.cpp:

#include 
QString yourAppVersion = QCoreApplication::applicationVersion();
