I have two projects in the solution. One of them is a debug lib, which should be built only in Debug workspace configuration. In VS I can just disable the 'Build' checkbox in Configuration Manager.
But I need this to be done with Premake 5.0, which include all project in build by default. I tried to use filter by configuration, but this didn't worked for me.
solution "Workspace"
configurations
{
"Debug",
"Release"
}
project "Application"
language "C++"
kind "ConsoleApp"
files
{
"../sources/**.hpp",
"../sources/**.cpp",
}
filter "configurations:Debug"
project "DebugLib"
language "C++"
kind "StaticLib"
files
{
"../sources/**.hpp",
"../sources/**.cpp",
}
filter {}
Maybe this way could for me, but I didn't find how to make if condition with solution configuration.
How can I achieve this behaviour with Premake?
I have dived into project kind and find out that None
kind can suit my needs.
A configuration which is not included in the build. Useful for projects containing only web pages, header files, or support documentation.
I changed my config, and put kind under the filter by configuration, which solved the problem. Now it looks this way:
project "DebugLib"
language "C++"
filter "configurations:Release"
kind "None"
filter "configurations:Debug"
kind "StaticLib"
filter {}
