CCS/TMS320F28069: adding variable value to .out and .hex file names

Hello! I've got a couple variables that i'd like to add to the .out and .hex files when i'm generating them whenever I compile. I'd like to have CCS create the files name something like <Project name>-<Value1>.<Value2>.out and then the same for .hex. These variables are part of my code rather than operating system variables. Is this possible? I'm basically wanting to add my major and minor firmware versions to the files names if that helps at all. Anyways, I figured I'd ask. Thanks a bunch!!

There isn't a direct/simple way to take a C macro or variable and create a CCS build variable that can then be added on to the output and hex file names. But this wiki page describes a way to define the major/minor version numbers as CCS variables and then use them in your C code and file output names. Perhaps this technique would work for your case.
