Footnotes

1. ℹ️ https://github.com/premake/premake-core/pull/2408 renames gmake2 into gmake ↩ ↩²

2. ⚠️ project location != workspace/solution location unsupported though. ↩

3. ℹ️ premake appends extra $(configName)/$(AppName). ↩

4. ℹ️ Not tested by the CI even if projects uses them. ↩

5. ⛔ cmake doesn't allow to specify objdir. ↩

6. 🪲 Reported issue: https://github.com/premake/premake-core/issues/2062 ↩

7. 🪲 Reported issue: https://github.com/premake/premake-core/issues/1769 ↩

8. ⚠️ prelinkcommands is done between prebuildcommand and objects creation and not just before link stage (i.e after objects creation). ↩

9. ⚠️ Code::Blocks doesn't support generation of linkable cpp files from header files. ↩

10. ⚠️ Code::Blocks doesn't support rules/custom builds which are different by configuration (Using Tokens might allow to bypass that restriction). ↩ ↩² ↩³ ↩⁴ ↩⁵ ↩⁶ ↩⁷

11. ℹ️ msc doesn't need linkgroups, so "On"/"Off" acts identically ↩ ↩² ↩³ ↩⁴

12. ⚠️ xcode4 doesn't support linkgroups "Off" ↩

13. ⚠️ premake-cmake doesn't support linkgroups "Off" ↩

14. ⚠️ premake-ninja doesn't support clang-tidy with msc ↩

15. ℹ️ qmake handles Qt natively, so premake-qt is disabled. ↩ ↩²
