Generating premake .lua script from solution / project...

[Tarmo Pikaro]

Hi !

I've now started to sketch script for parsing out .sln files, will try to expand my support to visual studio projects if possible, and

later on generate / re-generate .lua scripts out of them.

I had also an idea of making my own premake like system, but I think I will make premake compliant language syntax first - at least it's looks like easy to use.

Bit afraid that I will not be able to tackle all generation cases. solution - project model structure is not so clear.

Here is a link to svn repository: https://sourceforge.net/p/syncproj/code/HEAD/tree/

(With only source code currently)

Added initial support for solution-only generation, for winvlc ( https://github.com/sunqueen/vlc-2.2.1.32-2013 )
Throws up over 2000 lines of lua script...

solution "winvlc"

    configurations { "Debug","Release" }

    platforms { "Win32" }

    externalproject "winvlc"

        location "winvlc"

        uuid "29BF0A47-AAC8-4297-9F18-710FDCB04108"

        language "C++"

        kind "SharedLib"

        dependson "libcompat"

        dependson "libvlccore"

        dependson "libvlc"

    externalproject "libcompat"

        location "libcompat"

        uuid "5E40B384-095E-452A-839D-E0B62833256F"

        language "C++"

        kind "SharedLib"

    externalproject "libvlccore"

        location "libvlccore"

        uuid "B901F7D9-104E-45C8-B58A-BD1D1083A6DA"

        language "C++"

        kind "SharedLib"

        dependson "libcompat"

    externalproject "libvlc"

        location "libvlc"

        uuid "10DEA1F9-4B2E-4ABB-B520-49B27465FDEE"

        language "C++"

        kind "SharedLib"

...

And so on...

Hi !

Added initial support for solution generation using .cs script.

Syntax currently resembles quite much .lua syntax, but only written in C#. C# script interpreter (cscs.exe) is currently needed, but it's possible that I will replace that one with built-in .cs compilation.

So produced C# script looks like this:

//css_ref C:\Prototyping\Tools\syncproj\syncproj.exe

using System;         //Exception

class Script: SolutionProjectBuilder

{

  static void Main()

  {

    try {

    solution("TestWinVlc");

        configurations(  "Debug","Release" );

        platforms( "Win32" );

        externalproject("winvlc");

            location("winvlc");

            uuid("29BF0A47-AAC8-4297-9F18-710FDCB04108");

            language("C++");

            kind("SharedLib");

            dependson("libcompat");

            dependson("libvlccore");

            dependson("libvlc");

        externalproject("libcompat");

            location("libcompat");

            uuid("5E40B384-095E-452A-839D-E0B62833256F");

            language("C++");

            kind("SharedLib");

        externalproject("libvlccore");

            location("libvlccore");

            uuid("B901F7D9-104E-45C8-B58A-BD1D1083A6DA");

            language("C++");

            kind("SharedLib");

            dependson("libcompat");

...

        externalproject("swscale");

            location("plugins/video_chroma/swscale");

            uuid("09FDDE4D-3FA3-4847-AC06-FDCEAC16158F");

            language("C++");

            kind("SharedLib");

            dependson("libcompat");

            dependson("libvlccore");

    } catch( Exception ex )

    {

        ConsolePrintException(ex);

    }

  } //Main

}; //class Script

Also 2907 (.cs script) <> lua 2890 lines - so slightly bigger.

I will try now to check in depth individual project support.
