I finished off my list of website updates last night, had a beer to celebrate, and now it's time to get down to the business of Premake 4.1! I had originally planned to focus on Xcode for this version, but I've found a volunteer to help build out the platform support (that is, being able to build for different platforms from within a single solution). I want to take advantage of the offer while it stands, so I am amending my plans.
My goal now is to turn around a smaller 4.1 release, focusing on the just-mentioned platform support and bug fixes, and then tackle the larger Xcode work for 4.2. This will get some good bug fixes out sooner, and will also give me more time to ramp up on Xcode — I am still working my way through the tutorials for OS X and iPhone development on the ADC site.
I'll be posting progress updates to Twitter as I go, and bigger updates here as the release gets closer. And as always, I am happy to accept patches and code contributions for any feature at any time, even if it isn't on my roadmap.
I have been following Premake for over a year but have avoided using it due to the lack of XCode support. It's great news to hear of the support coming in 4.2. I would be happy to help test and resolve issues if it will help expedite the support process.
It absolutely would help. I am making good progress on the platform support and hope to wrap it up quickly. I also need the Xcode support, for my own work, so I am anxious to get it started.
Is there also planed Eclipse+CDT intigration? i would love premake if it would be intigrated.
There is an open feature request for Eclipse support but it won't be coming in the 4.2 release. I don't have it on my roadmap currently (but my roadmap doesn't extend out very far).
