* 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.
* Maintainer: Konstantin Tokarev (annulen on freenode.net)
* Repository: https://gitorious.org/qtcreator-premake-plugin
h2. 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:

and follow instruction in README file.


h2. Usage
Open project file "premake4.lua&quot; in Qt Creator just like you open .pro files.
h3. Simple Qt project 


<br />require &quot;qt-support&amp;quot;
<br />solution &quot;MyApplication&amp;quot;<br /> configurations { &quot;Debug&amp;quot;, &quot;Release&amp;quot; }
<br /> project &quot;MyApplication&amp;quot;<br /> kind &quot;WindowedApp&amp;quot;<br /> language &quot;C''+&quot;<br /> uses &quot;Qt&amp;quot;<br /> files {<br /> &quot;src/*'''.h&amp;quot;,<br /> &quot;src/.cpp&amp;quot;,<br /> &quot;src/.ui&amp;quot;,<br /> &quot;src/.qrc&amp;quot;<br /> }<br /> configuration &quot;Debug&amp;quot;<br /> flags { &quot;Symbols&amp;quot; }
