Premake is a command line utility which reads a scripted definition of a software project, then uses it to perform build configuration tasks or generate project files for toolsets like Visual Studio, Xcode, and GNU Make. Premake's scripts are little [Lua](http://www.lua.org/) programs, so the sky's the limit!
Premake is a BSD-licensed open source project. Our many thanks to these fine people who help us spend more time adding features and supporting the community. :tada:
