VERSION
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
What version number is this target.
|
|
|
|
For shared libraries ``VERSION`` and :prop_tgt:`SOVERSION` can be used
|
|
to specify the build version and API version respectively. When building or
|
|
installing appropriate symlinks are created if the platform supports
|
|
symlinks and the linker supports so-names. If only one of both is
|
|
specified the missing is assumed to have the same version number. For
|
|
executables ``VERSION`` can be used to specify the build version. When
|
|
building or installing appropriate symlinks are created if the
|
|
platform supports symlinks.

|
Windows Versions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
For shared libraries and executables on Windows the ``VERSION``
|
|
attribute is parsed to extract a ``<major>.<minor>`` version number.
|
|
These numbers are used as the image version of the binary.
|
|
|
|
Mach-O Versions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
For shared libraries and executables on Mach-O systems (e.g. OS X, iOS),
|
|
the :prop_tgt:`SOVERSION` property correspond to *compatibility version* and
|
|
``VERSION`` to *current version*. See the :prop_tgt:`FRAMEWORK` target
|
|
property for an example. Versions of Mach-O binaries may be checked with the
|
|
``otool -L <binary>`` command.
