premake
A Premake extension that adds support for building D language projects across multiple compilers and build systems.
Overview
premake-dlang is an extension for the Premake build configuration tool that adds first-class support for the D programming language. It enables developers to define and generate build scripts for D projects using Premake's simple Lua-based syntax, streamlining cross-platform development workflows.
Key Features
- Multi-Compiler Support — Works with DMD, LDC, and GDC compilers.
- Build System Flexibility — Generates project files for gmake and Visual Studio (via VisualD).
- Compilation Modes — Supports both combined and separate compilation strategies.
- Comprehensive Flags — Provides a wide range of D-specific build flags for code coverage, documentation generation, unit testing, and optimization.
- Simple Integration — Easily added to existing Premake scripts with a single
language "D"declaration.
Philosophy
The extension follows Premake's philosophy of providing a simple, declarative way to define build configurations that can be exported to multiple native build systems, reducing maintenance overhead for D projects.
