1、简介

Premake是一个命令行实用程序，它读取软件项目的脚本定义，最常见的是使用它为Visual Studio，Xcode或GNU Make等工具集生成项目文件。

2、使用

2.1 支持的工程文件Project Files

若要生成 Visual Studio 2013 项目文件，请使用以下命令：

premake5 vs2013

2.2 构建设置Build Settings

defines { "DEBUG", "TRACE" }
defines { "CALLSPEC=__dllexport" }

includedirs { "../lua/include", "../zlib" }
includedirs { "../includes/**" }

pchheader "myproject.h"

optimize "Speed"

filter { "system:linux", "action:gmake" }
  buildoptions { "`wx-config --cxxflags`", "-ansi", "-pedantic" }

targetname "mytarget"

2.3 链接Linking

（1）链接到外部库是通过links 功能完成的。

links { "png", "zlib" }

（2）links 指令的位置在project 下面设置。

workspace "MyWorkspace"

   project "MyLibraryProject"
      -- ...project settings here...

   project "MyExecutableProject"
      -- ...project settings here...
      links { "MyLibraryProject" }

（3）而查找库，则使用如下指令。

libdirs { "libs", "../mylibs" }
# or
libdirs { os.findlib("X11") }

2.4 配置Configurations

配置是要应用于构建的设置集合，包括标志和开关、头文件和库搜索目录等。每个工作区定义自己的配置名称列表;大多数 IDE 提供的默认值是“调试”和“发布”。

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

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

workspace "MyWorkspace"
   configurations { "Froobniz", "Fozbat", "Cthulhu" }

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

   filter "configurations:Debug"
      defines { "DEBUG" }
      flags { "Symbols" }

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

2.5 平台Platforms

“平台”在这里有点用词不当;我再次遵循Visual Studio命名法。实际上，平台只是另一组构建配置名称，提供了另一个方向用于配置项目。

configurations { "Debug", "Release" }
platforms { "Win32", "Win64", "Xbox360" }

configurations { "Debug", "Release" }
platforms { "Win32", "Win64", "Xbox360" }

filter { "platforms:Win32" }
    system "Windows"
    architecture "x86"

filter { "platforms:Win64" }
    system "Windows"
    architecture "x86_64"

filter { "platforms:Xbox360" }
    system "Xbox360"

configurations { "Debug", "Release" }
platforms { "Static", "DLL" }

filter { "platforms:Static" }
    kind "StaticLib"

filter { "platforms:DLL" }
    kind "SharedLib"
    defines { "DLL_EXPORTS" }

2.6 过滤Filters

project "MyProject"

  filter { "configurations:Debug" }
    targetdir "bin/debug"

  filter { "configurations:Release" }
    targetdir "bin/release"

2.7 预设值Tokens

wks.name
wks.location -- (location where the workspace/solution is written, not the premake-wks.lua file)

prj.name
prj.location -- (location where the project is written, not the premake-prj.lua file)
prj.language
prj.group

cfg.longname
cfg.shortname
cfg.kind
cfg.architecture
cfg.platform
cfg.system
cfg.buildcfg
cfg.buildtarget -- (see [target], below)
cfg.linktarget -- (see [target], below)
cfg.objdir

file.path
file.abspath
file.relpath
file.directory
file.reldirectory
file.name
file.basename -- (file part without extension)
file.extension -- (including '.'; eg ".cpp")

-- These values are available on build and link targets
-- Replace [target] with one of "cfg.buildtarget" or "cfg.linktarget"
--   Eg: %{cfg.buildtarget.abspath}
[target].abspath
[target].relpath
[target].directory
[target].name
[target].basename -- (file part without extension)
[target].extension -- (including '.'; eg ".cpp")
[target].bundlename
[target].bundlepath
[target].prefix
[target].suffix
