Premake is a build configuration tool allowing user to describe C, C+, or C# software project using a simple, easy to read syntax. Main features are:

  • Declarative syntax based on Lua
  • Full power of general purpose language (Lua) available for non-trivial tasks
  • Generation of project files for popular IDEs including Visual Studio and Xcode, which don’t require presence of Premake executable on actual build host
  • Support for flexible build configuration, exposed to user as configure-style options
  • Support for cross-compilation
  • Distributed as small sized single executable without external dependencies
  • Unlimited extensibility – define new APIs, build tools, or even change behavior of build system internals from within your project!
  • Support for building Qt projects - see [1]


This plugin allows user to open, browse, build, and debug Premake projects inside Qt Creator.

Installation

You can get binary version for Windows from [2]. For other operating systems, or if you want bleeding edge version, get the source code:
