Premake 4.1.2 command line explanation

//-------------------------------------------------------------

Premake is a builder used to automatically create solutions and project files.
Cross-platform solutions and project settings are supported.
Quick project setting, macro definition, and target modification between projects are also solved.
Currently, premake is used for FlatFour, ODE, CEGUI, yake, NFS, and other projects.

The following is an example of an application:
Preparation: place the main. cpp file in the directory. The content should be a code file that can be edited.
Put premake4.exe in this directory (Premake 4.1.2 is used in this article)
Create two empty batch files, make. bat and clear. bat.
Create a main script file mysln. lua (premake uses the lua script, so you can use the features and functions of lua)

Fill in the make. bat file:
Premake4 -- file = mysln. lua -- OS = windows -- platform = x32 vs2005

Fill in the clear. bat file:
Premake4 -- file = mysln. lua clean

Fill in the mysln. lua file:

Solution "MySolution" <br/> basedir "work" <br/> deployments {"Debug ", "Release"} <br/> language "C ++" <br/> uuid "415890bf-272f-4cff-ba17-3d21c3d1380f" <br/> includedirs "inc" </p> <p> project "MyLib "<br/> kind" StaticLib "<br/> includedirs" inc "<br/> files {"*. cpp ","*. h "} </p> <p> configuration" Debug "<br/> defines {" DEBUG "} </p> <p> configuration" Release "<br/> defines {"NDEBUG"} </p> <p> project "MyApp" <br/> kind "StaticLib" <br/> includedirs "inc" <br/> files {"*. cpp ","*. h "} </p> <p> configuration" Debug "<br/> defines {" DEBUG "} </p> <p> configuration" Release "<br/> defines {"NDEBUG"} </p> <p>
