Just a quick update to say "no update"—trying my best to get back to it soon

@Triang3l @Daemin @FlohOfWoe @KageKirin Lame answer, but its on my short list for v6, right after sorting some state bugs & porting the toolchain adapters

@Triang3l @Daemin @FlohOfWoe @KageKirin "No dependency management" is by design; lack of a formal way to specify your own transitives is omission. "Usage functions" are the DIY solution.

Why the hell is everybody using CMake? That tool is harder to use than the language it's supposed to compile.

Hey hey hey, another community update is ready! premake.github.io/blog/2021/11/2…

Couldn't find a multi-ABI solution, so time for an ULTIMATE one? My Android ndk-build module for @premakeapp is out! • Multiple ABIs at once with architecture filters • C, C++, GAS, Yasm, RenderScript, with extension filters • -l, -u from static libs github.com/Triang3l/prema…

This is looking *nice* – Android support for Premake

@Triang3l Hmm…sounds like we’ll need to do it then, though I’m sure we’ll get complaints in the other direction. V6 would be the time to do it—can you open an issue to remind me?

@premakeapp File extensions especially, like in path.hasextension (considering Android's ndk-build treats .c as C, but .C as C++), filters — aside from file names, you can define multiple configurations/platforms with the same name, but different case.

@premakeapp Will Premake6 be finally fully case-sensitive? 🙃

@lukebayes Well…not *all* the things, but we’re getting there. Thanks! 🙌

If you're trying to compile native code for different platforms (incl embedded systems), and grossed out by the dumpster fire that is CMake, try @premakeapp They have a nice little project-based DSL that is well documented, easy to pick up and works with (and on) all the things.

Put together a GitHub project for v5.0-stable, added fixes I think _must_ be done before release. Now getting to it. Feedback & additional suggestions welcome. github.com/premake/premak…

@Triang3l Hmm…that certainly wasn’t the intention. It’s unlikely to be fixed in a newer version; as far as I know no one has touched that code in quite some time. Glad you got something working!

@premakeapp Looks like I've resolved the issue, file filters apparently work only at project scope, not workspace or global (at least in the version of premake-core I'm using, may be hugely outdated, need to try the newer one, just using an existing large project for testing).

how can @premakeapp fileconfig just work in some modules, but never provide the flags and the buildoptions in mine, both with and without a file filter 😬

@Triang3l The vstudio module will have the best reference implementation, since it gets the most contributions

@premakeapp How am I supposed to retrieve it, by the way, and is it supposed to be merged with the parent context (in this case, the buildcfg/platform for the project)? I'm doing p.tree.traverse of p.project.getsourcetree(project), and then p.fileconfig.getconfig of the node with the…

@Triang3l Oh geez, I haven’t had to do that in a long time. Maybe open an issue and show your code?

@Triang3l Hope it’s not me!

@Triang3l One of us must be doing something wrong 😅

ICYMI, just landed a new version targeting approach for v6 - github.com/premake/premak…

Just published a new community update for your weekend reading pleasure… premake.github.io/blog/2021/08/0…

Latest code is now in the premake-core repository, on the `v6` branch. I'll be putting together another community update to say the same thing with more words soon 🙂

v6 (previously vNext) can now export a working Visual Studio build of itself; defines() & includeDirs() work for projects & files (which means all plumbing in place for workspace/project/file settings in general)
