Version info resource

[dmajkic]

How can I add VS_VERSION_INFO windows resource to compiler app?

I can see that hbmk2 supports raw rc files, but how to make them show as version info on exe file?

Is there some way in hbmk2 to automatize version numbering (Env vars or macros)?

Hope this is what you are looking for .. this is my Version.Rc that you link into your application.
