Using ZPM Premake5

Whilst ZPM by default makes sure all dependencies are downloaded, you yourself are responsible for using them. However this is made as simple as possible!

premake5.lua File

By default ZPM is loaded in the zpm global variable. There is only two commands you should remember:

zpm.uses

This command is used to link, and use all exported settings from the given packages.

zpm.uses( <libraries> )

Where

Example 

project "Example"
    zpm.uses "Zefiros-Software/GoogleTest"

Warning

This command is used on a per project level.

require

ZPM can be used to load and install premake5 modules. It can also be used to download general lua modules.

Example 

//.package.json
"modules": [
    "Zefiros-Software/Zefiros-Defaults"
]

with

//premake5.lua
local zefiros = require( "Zefiros-Software/Zefiros-Defaults", "@head" )

Large Example

workspace "Example"

    configurations { "Debug", "Release" }

    platforms { "x86_64", "x86" }

    filter "*Debug"
        targetsuffix "d"
        defines "DEBUG"

        flags "Symbols"
        optimize "Off"

    filter "*Release"
        optimize "Speed"

    project "test"

        kind "ConsoleApp"
        flags "WinMain"

        location "test/"

        zpm.uses {
            "Zefiros-Software/GoogleTest"
        }

        files { 
            "test/**.h",
            "test/**.cpp"
            }

    project "lib"    
        kind "StaticLib"

        files { 
            "include/**.h",
            "src/**.cpp",
            }
