Build script generator for LÖVE

Post by qubodup »

I think the discussion about this topic has been all around the place.

I only can say that ghoulsblade and hagish, freegamedev.net's admins and developers of (for example) Iris2 wrote good things about premake.
Premake is a build script generator. Describe your project using the full-featured Lua scripting language and then let Premake create the input files for:
  • MS Visual Studio 6, 2002, 2003, or 2005
  • GNU make (including Cygwin and MinGW)
  • IC#Code SharpDevelop
  • MonoDevelop
  • …more on the way!
A quick google search let me find hamster.
Hamster is a general-purpose Lua build system, similar to SCons (which is Python based). You can describe your whole build in 100% Lua, then Hamster will generate a makefile (or scons if that's installed) and do the build.

-- Don't force fullscreen (it frustrates those who want to try your game real quick) -- Develop for 1280x720 (so people can make HD videos)
