C++ references C# project, how to set copy local = No ?

[Tarmo Pikaro]

Hi !

In same solution I have two projects, one C#, second C++. C++ references C# project using

links ("one")

This generates following xml snippet:

--

-- Managed C++ projects write out references a little differently.

--

function suite.referencesAreRelative_onDifferentProjectLocation()

links { "MyProject" }

clr "On"

prepare()

test.capture [[

<ItemGroup>

<ProjectReference Include="MyProject.vcxproj">

<Project>{00112233-4455-6677-8888-99AABBCCDDEE}</Project>

<Private>true</Private>

<ReferenceOutputAssembly>true</ReferenceOutputAssembly>

<CopyLocalSatelliteAssemblies>false</CopyLocalSatelliteAssemblies>

<LinkLibraryDependencies>true</LinkLibraryDependencies>

<UseLibraryDependencyInputs>false</UseLibraryDependencyInputs>

</ProjectReference>

</ItemGroup>

]]

end

Note that <Private> is set to true.

I have tried to use 

links ("one")

flags { "NoCopyLocal" }

but this does not have any effect, it works only between C# - C# projects, but not on C++ to C# projects.

Can you recommend me any way of overriding premake generation behavior or walking around this issue ?

This might be a "submit a pull request" issue…I don't know if anyone has investigated CopyLocal support for C++ projects yet?
