[CMake] install() rename with version string

[Wagner Martin]

That doesn't work as CMake seems to only evaluate the include() statement once at first run. With the OPTIONAL statement, my project builds, but the ${version_string} variable is not populated.

You can try:

include(version.cmake OPTIONAL)

which will make include tolerate the absence of version.cmake,
but then your install statement will only be OK after version.cmake has been created.

Hello,
 
I’ve searched for some time, but didn’t find anything useful. Most finds deal with including version system stuff passed to header files for compilation.
 
I want to achieve something like that:
Include(version.cmake)
install(FILES firmware.hex  RENAME  firmware_${version_string}.hex)
 
where version.cmake is created like explained in this mail https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2010-July/038015.html alongside headers needed for compilation.
 
However, CMake needs to include version.cmake at first CMake run time, which is not possible because it’s a generated file.
 
Is there any other way to do the rename?
 
Thanks for your help!
 
Regards,
Martin
