You don't need to modify the bitcoin client at all - you can use JSON-RPC and call getblockcount.

If you don't mind using someone else's server you can just use the response from a HTTP call to http://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockcount
It's altcoin-dev, I need height to recalculate difficulty after fork. – user1497250 – 2013-05-31T17:57:25.347
I don't understand your problem. There's no variable nHeight in ComputeMinWork. – Nick ODell – 2013-06-02T18:29:50.103
It's true. It's not possible, because, does not have position on blockchain yet. Thanks. – user1497250 – 2013-06-03T19:05:24.560
