1 | initial version |
Buried (deep in the catkin documentation)[http://docs.ros.org/api/catkin/html/dev_guide/generated_cmake_api.html] there is a note that after calling catkin_pacakge()
, the package version is available as a cmake variable that is named after your package: <packagename>_VERSION
You could make this available to C++ code using the add_definitions cmake command, like:
catkin_package(
# any arguments to catkin_package here
)
add_definitions("-D${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION=\"${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION}\"")
This uses the -D option to the compiler, which is equivalent to a #define
.
You could use the version in your code as a string, for example:
ROS_INFO("Package version is %s", mypackage_VERSION); // replace mypackage with your package name
