premake-vscode

An extension for premake that adds project and workspace generation for Visual Studio Code.

This project was originally created by peter

This was initially inspired by these repositories:

• https://github.com/Enhex/premake-vscode
• https://github.com/paullackner/premake-vscode

The goal of this project was to create a more up to date extension with more feature support!

Namely,

• Most of the C++ configuration properties that premake offers
• Might also support C and C# in the future, but for now C++ is the main focus.

Supported Languages

C++

Supported Premake "CppDialect" options:

• C++98, C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20, C++2a, gnu++98, gnu++11, gnu++14, gnu++17, gnu++20

C++ Compilers for Windows:

• msvc, clang

C++ Compilers for Linux:

• gcc, clang

Usage

To use this extension add this repository to one of the Premake search paths, and then add the following inside premake-system.lua:

require("premake-vscode")

Or add the following to your premake5.lua script if you added this repository in your own project:

require("path/to/this/repo/vscode")

Then, you can invoke generation like so:

$ premake vscode
