If you can specify CMake version 2.8.11 as a minimum, you could use<br>
the string(TIMESTAMP ...) command instead:<br>
<br>
string(TIMESTAMP _output "%d/%m/%Y")<br>
<br>
Bear in mind that these only execute when CMake runs (i.e. at configure time)<br>
rather than at build time, so strictly-speaking you're not actually grabbing the<br>
compile date.<br>

Of course you could put that in a CMake script and execute it with e.g. '${CMAKE_COMMAND} -p ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/<u></u>get_date.cmake' in a custom command :-). Then it would truly be the compile date. (Needless to say, the script would need to write the date into some generated source file, e.g. with configure_file.)<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>
