Welcome to Premake

Premake is a command line utility which reads a scripted definition of a software project, then uses it to perform build configuration tasks or generate project files for toolsets like Visual Studio, Xcode, and GNU Make. Premake's scripts are little Lua programs, so the sky's the limit!

workspace "MyWorkspace"
    configurations { "Debug", "Release" }

project "MyProject"
    kind "ConsoleApp"
    language "C++"
    files { "**.h", "**.cpp" }

    filter { "configurations:Debug" }
        defines { "DEBUG" }
        symbols "On"

    filter { "configurations:Release" }
        defines { "NDEBUG" }
        optimize "On"
