NAME

6       Premake - A build script generator.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       premake --target <str>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       premake  allows  you  to manage your project configuration in one place
13       and still support those pesky IDE-addicted Windows coders and/or cranky
14       Linux command-line junkies. It allows you to generate project files for
15       tools that you do not own. It saves the time that  would  otherwise  be
16       spent  manually keeping several different toolsets in sync. And it pro‐
17       vides an easy upgrade path as new versions of your favorite  tools  are
18       released.
