Premake GitHub packages

An extension to premake for consuming packages from GitHub repositories.

This extension makes it easy to share and consume C/C++ projects!

Import this extension by placing it somewhere that premake can find it then use.

require 'ghp'

Import packages using the ghp.import function in your workspace which refers to a GitHub organization/repository and release.

ghp.import('mversluys/protobuf', '2.6.1')

Pull include directies and libraries into your projects with ghp.use.

ghp.use('mversluys/protobuf')

You can also require premake modules directly from github with ghp.require.

ghp.require('mversluys/premake-autoconf', '0.1')

For more information, including how to publish your own packages, see the wiki.

For a working sample project, see premake-ghp-sample.

A public index of available packages can be found here http://www.premake-ghp.com.
