In makefile you can run virtually every application you need. I don't know if it is possible using qmake script.

Nicolas, I think that the problem is how to automatically increase build number of your application. It's not easy to do if you are not using something like cvs or svn.

Ok,

i use SVN but how can I do so, that if the program is newly compiled. That the Program has the new version?

Example:

Source code

1.) Version is 1.0.0.101          => Version 1 Build 101
1.1) qmake (but this is optional)
2.) Make code changes
3.) Compile program (make, mingw32-make, ...)
4.) Version is now 1.0.0.102          => Version 1 Build 102
5.) Start program:

MyApp (1.0.0.102) (C) by SomeName 2008

I don't understand why you want the version to be automaticaly changed at each build
if it's only to prevent writing an executing file, use install and only run installed program and libraries
when you really want to change versionning for your app/lib, change value of VERSION qmake variable in .pro/.prf files
