Include minor version or build number

[wyatt-wong]

I checked the latest GitHub source several times per day or daily and I found there are frequently updates to the source. However, after I built the GitHub source to binary in macOS Sequoia, I found it remains version 0.270.

Is it possible to include minor version or build number to differentiate every single change in the GitHub source ?

The commit hash is included in the version number unless you specifically tell the build system not to:

% ./mamed -version
0.269 (mame0269-327-ga916fd601df-dirty)

That build was from the commit mamedev/mame@a916fd601df, which was 327 commits on top of the mame0269 tag, and there were local source changes not committed.

I see that.

I didn't find there is a file named "mamed" but "mame'. I am not sure how you can return the version information by executing "./mamed -version"

Builds with asserts enabled have a d suffix. The -version option works with builds without asserts enabled as well.
