Any interest in this at all ? I would gladly fix any packaging errors
if there are any.
Just to point out, Premake is one of the few crossplatform build tools
that has support for wide range of development environments natively (
GNU make, Visual Studio, CodeBlocks, XCode etc ) and the only other
similar alternative is CMake.
Quite a few developers prefer premake for its use of Lua as scripting
language, rather than using custom syntax.
