I do not know of any automatic solution to this.

What we do is build all our releases from Jenkins.  Jenkins provides build number and subversion revision as environment
 variables.
The make files then has statements for putting these into defines that will be built in to the executable.

Here is the common.mk make file changes we hav done.
<code>
ifdef JENKINS_URL 
CCFLAGS+= -D'SVN_REVISION="$(SVN_REVISION)"' -D'BUILD_NUMBER="$(BUILD_NUMBER)"' 
else
#Buiding on a dev machine
CCFLAGS+= -D'SVN_REVISION="$(shell svnversion -n $(PROJECT_ROOT))"' -D'BUILD_NUMBER="XXX"' 
endif
</code>

To display the version info we have added a -v option to our executable.  This simply prints the build info and 
terminates.

In qnx we use the "usemsg" tool to put version information into executables.  Most of this comes from the "pinfo" file 
located in each project.  Run "use -i <path of binary or shared object>" on the device to see an example.

Subject: Build Versioning

I would like to add a build version (application release number) to our product. In Visual Studio, I would use the 
project properties (Project->Properties->Publish Version) and enter the Version values for Major, Minor, Build, Revision
. These would then become part of the exe file properties, which I could access later programatically. Is there a 
similar option inside QNX? Or is there a recommended way for adding version information to a build?

Thank you all for the help. I will use the usemsg implementation.
