Handling informations about the builds, handling several processor targets, enhancing the About window

Question

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 445

The archive naming convention is getting too complicated because of the number of parameter
to take into account. The requirement to state the processor target in this file also
lead me to integrate a way to handle a processor target list, with corresponding build
flags. This has been tested to run with CMakeGUI seamlessly

Here is a patch to automatically generate an AboutThisBuild text file, that will be
part of the archive. A PHP script can then be created to extract this file from the
archive, read the different fields and put them in a database, letting the user chose
in a more convenient way (provided that the download page give some hint on the build
to download...)

Actually, only the Windows script has been created. I'm looking for volunteers to create
(update) the "About-Linux.cmake" and "About-Apple.cmake" files (this is about bash
scripting).

The about window does not yet contain this informations, but they are created and usable
at least.

The provided patch is based upon Default, changeset #fb9a98cb06.

Answer 1

Btw, i think that the About button should be in the main Window, next to the preferences,
and not in the Preferences window. I'm planning to create several tabs in this About
window :
Tab 1: The splash screen
Tab 2: The build information
Tab 3: The credits
