Thanks for your effort, this is a great start to getting version info from git into my application! :-)

Out of the box, the ante-last step seems to fail on Mac OS X 10.8 / XCode Version 5.1.1 (5B1008) with

Set: Entry, ":CFBundleShortVersionString", Does Not Exist

Has this entry possible been introduced only in a later version ? What Mac OS X version was this written on ?

It seems, instead of CFBundleShortVersionString, I can also use CFBundleGetInfoString; this is set to "Created by Qt/QMake" by default and is displayed as the contents of the 'Version' field in the Mac OS X info dialog (the one displayed by right-clicking the .app application file and selecting 'Get Info').

I realize this is a couple of years old, but if anyone else lands here this might be useful.

You can replace the whole !contains(GIT_VERSION,\d+\.\d+\.\d+) { section that is recreating the tag-num-ghash format if you simply change the initial git command from:

git describe --always --tags

to:

git describe --long

This will result in git describe always returning it in the tag-num-ghash format. (Reference: the git docs)

Qual o melhor script?

Hi.
Please, check my repo. Set Qt App version from git.
