Not designtime, but runtime you can simply set a property using values from {$I http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progsu41.html

label1.caption:='{$i %FPCVERSION%} {$i %date%} {$i %time%}';

note though that because FPC can build incremental that means the buildtime FOR THAT MODULE! If you routine do a full build for a real release, that is not a problem though.

See the constants in unit LCLVersion, these will give you LCL (that is Lazarus) version.
I do not know how to get svn revision number, but, as we can see it is in Lazarus about box, apparently there is a way to add svn revision as well.

It comes from ide\revision.inc:

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]
  1. // Created by Svn2RevisionInc
  2. const RevisionStr = '41139';
  3.

I think freeman35 is asking for fpc svn revision number and build date, not Lazarus information, which is already shown.
The fpc build (compile) date is available in the plethora of data under View->IDE Internals, but I don't see there the fpc svn revision number, though I might have missed it.

AFAIK fpc svn revision number can be included and be shown with the -iW switch only if you build fpc from svn and do a "make revision" in the compiler dir before the usual "make all install ... etc" in the top dir.

Yse I talk about "fpc svn revision number and build date"  lazarus was there and just fpc version on there 2.7.1 etc.
I checked fp IDE about box, NO svn revision info too
Why I need, I actually update svn version in 1-2 days. some bugs been and I need to know versions. best easy way look at to lazarus about form. Lazarus svnrevision number is there but just fpc version is write there (2.7.1)
@howardpc Yes fpc compiled date and other info there ,but no fpc svn revision number anywhere :)
This is my suggestion, this fpc info add to lazarus about form too

Swipe to copy info from about form to keyboard buffer would be useful.
