[GENie](https://github.com/bkaradzic/genie#what-is-it) - Project generator tool
===============================================================================
What is it?
-----------
**GENie** (pronounced as Jenny) is project generator tool. It automagically
generates project from Lua script, making applying the same settings for
multiple projects easy.
Supported project generators:
* GNU Makefile
* [JSON Compilation Database][jcdb]
* Ninja (experimental)
* Qbs / QtCreator (experimental)
* Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019
* XCode
Download (stable)

History
-------
Initial version of **GENie** is [fork](https://github.com/bkaradzic/GENie/blob/c7e7da4aafe4210aa014a8ae8f6b01ce1d6802f0/README.md#why-fork)
of Premake 4.4 beta 5, and there is no intention to keep it compatible with it.
## Changelog (since fork)
- Added vs2013 support.
- Added hash UUID support. `os.uuid(<string>)` should produce consistent UUID.
- Added search for default script. Default script name is changed to genie.lua
(solution.lua and premake4.lua are also allowed), and it can be located in
`scripts` directory.
- Updated Lua from 5.1.4 to 5.3.0.
- Disabled `SmallerTypeCheck` VS option when `ExtraWarnings` is set (need to
move it into separate option).
- New versioning scheme based on revision number from git.
- Added `startproject "<project name>"` to set default project in VS.
- Removed `NoMinimalRebuild` and added reversed logic to `EnableMinimalRebuild`.
- Added `NoMultiProcessorCompilation` flag to disable multiprocessor
compilation in MSVC.
- Added ability to configure Visual Studio toolset from GENie script.
- Added `UnsignedChar` flag to force char to be unsigned.
- Removed vs2002, vs2003, vs2005, Solaris, and Haiku support.
- Allow source files in the same project to have the same name. Added
`SingleOutputDir` flag to use single output directory (original behaviour).
- Added WinRT support (Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Store, Universal Apps).
- Added `removeflags`, `removelinks`.
- Added vs2015 support.
- Added `targetsubdir`.
- Added support for solution folders `group`.
- Added `options` section (and `ForceCpp` to enforce C++ compile even if
extension is for C files)
- Added `msgcompile`, `msgresource`, `msglinking` and `msgarchiving` as
overrides for make messages.
- Added `messageskip` list to disable some of compiler messages.
- Added `buildoptions_c`, `buildoptions_cpp`, `buildoptions_objc`,
`buildoptions_objcpp`, `buildoptions_asm`, `buildoptions_swift` for
configuring language specific build options.
- Split functionality of `excludes` in `removefiles` and `excludes`. With VS
`excludes` will exclude files from build but files will be added to project
file. `removefiles` removes files completely from project.
- Added support for generating PS4/Orbis projects.
- Fixed PCH race when using concurrent Makefile build.
- Added Green Hills Software compiler support.
- Added edit & continue support for 64-bit builds in vs2013 upwards.
- Added `windowstargetplatformversion` to specify VS Windows target version.
- Added `NoWinRT` flag to disable WinRT CX builds.
- Added `NoBufferSecurityCheck` flag to disable security checks in VS.
- Added `nopch` file list to exclude files from using PCH.
- Added `EnableAVX` and `EnableAVX2` flags to enable enhanced instruction set.
- Added FASTBuild (.bff) project generator.
- Added Vala language support.
- Added MASM support for Visual Studio projects.
- Added `userincludedirs` for include header with angle brackets and quotes
search path control.
- Detect when generated project files are not changing, and skip writing over
existing project files.
- Added Ninja project generator.
- Added ability to specify MSVC "Old Style" debug info format with
`C7DebugInfo`.
- Added some support for per-configuration `files` lists.
- Removed `clean` action.
- Added support for QtCreator via Qbs build tool.
- Added .natvis file type support for Visual Studio.
- Added Swift language support for make and ninja build generators.
- Removed CodeBlocks and CodeLite support.
- Added vs2017 support.
- Removed vs2008 support.
- Added `removeplatforms` that removes VS build target platforms.
- Added `PedanticWarnings` flag.
- Added `ObjcARC` flag to enable automatic reference counting for Objective-C(++).
- Added `iostargetplatformversion`, `macostargetplatformversion`, and
`tvostargetplatformversion` to specify XCode OS target version.
- Removed the `xcode3`, and `xcode4` actions.
- Added the `xcode8`, `xcode9`, `xcode10`, and `xcode11` actions.
- Added `systemincludedirs` that are always searched after directories added
using `includedirs`.
- Added `NoRuntimeChecks` flag to disable Basic Runtime Checks in non-optimized
Visual Studio builds.
- Added support for Nintendo Switch projects.
- Added flags for selecting C++ standard: `Cpp11`, `Cpp14`, `Cpp17`,
and `CppLatest`.
- Added `xcodeprojectopts` and `xcodetargetopts`.
- Added vs2019 support.
- Added `UnitySupport` flag to enable Unity (Jumbo) builds in vs2019
- Added the `jcdb` action for generating a [JSON compilation database][jcdb].
- Added support for generating Switch/NX32 Switch/NX64 projects.
- Removed FASTBuild.
build - GENie build system scripts
----------------------------------
build is a set of build system scripts and related tools, built around
GENie project generator tool.
https://milostosic.github.io/build/
Debugging GENie scripts
-----------------------
It is possible to debug build scripts using [ZeroBrane Studio][zbs]. You must
compile GENie in debug mode
$ make config=debug
This ensures the core lua scripts are loaded from disk rather than compiled
into the GENie binary. Create a file named `debug.lua` as a sibling to your
main `genie.lua` script with the following content:
local zb_path = <path to ZeroBraneStudio>
local cpaths = {
string.format("%s/bin/lib?.dylib;%s/bin/clibs53/?.dylib;", zb_path, zb_path),
package.cpath,
}
package.cpath = table.concat(cpaths, ';')
local paths = {
string.format('%s/lualibs/?.lua;%s/lualibs/?/?.lua', zb_path, zb_path),
string.format('%s/lualibs/?/init.lua;%s/lualibs/?/?/?.lua', zb_path, zb_path),
string.format('%s/lualibs/?/?/init.lua', zb),
package.path,
}
package.path = table.concat(paths, ';')
require('mobdebug').start()
**NOTE:** update `zb_path` to refer to the root of your ZeroBrane Studio
install. For reference, you should find `lualibs` in you `zb_path` folder
To debug, make sure ZBS is listening for debug connections and add
`dofile("debug.lua")` to `genie.lua`
