premake 简单的脚本

solution "test"
        configurations {"Debug", "Release"}

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

                configuration "Debug"
                        defines {"DEBUG"}
                        flags {"Symbols"}

                configuration "Release"
                        defines {"NDEBUG"}
                        flags {"Optimize"}

执行premake脚本命令

[root@instance-4420gg0f premake_demo]# premake4 --file=premake4.lua --os=windows --platform=x32 vs2012
