Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade premake5 -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --prerelease [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade premake5 -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --prerelease
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

WARNING

Description

Premake is a command line utility which reads a scripted definition of a software project and, most commonly, uses it to generate project files for toolsets like Visual Studio, Xcode, or GNU Make.

workspace "MyWorkspace"
   configurations { "Debug", "Release" }

project "MyProject"
   kind "ConsoleApp"
   language "C++"
   files { "**.h", "**.cpp" }

   filter { "configurations:Debug" }
      defines { "DEBUG" }
      symbols "On"

   filter { "configurations:Release" }
      defines { "NDEBUG" }
      optimize "On"

A sample Premake script.

$ premake5 vs2012
Building configurations...
Running action 'vs2012'...
Generating MyWorkspace.sln...
Generating MyProject.vcxproj...
Generating MyProject.vcxproj.user...
Done.

Premake reads the script and generates project scripts.

Use Premake To…

  • Maximize your potential audience by allowing developers to use the platforms and toolsets they prefer.

  • Allow developers to customize the build, and output project files specific to that configuration.

  • Keep builds in sync across toolsets by generating project from the Premake scripts on demand.

  • Quickly update large codebases with many workspaces and projects: make the change once in your Premake script and then regenerate.

  • Create project files for toolsets you don't own.

  • Quickly upgrade to newer versions of your chosen toolset.

  • Script common configuration and build maintenance tasks.

Key Features

The current development version of Premake 5.0 can generate C, C++, or C# projects targeting:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2005-2019
  • GNU Make, including Cygwin and MinGW
  • Xcode
  • Codelite

Previous version of Premake also supported exporting for MonoDevelop and Code::Blocks. We are in the process of bringing these exporters back online for the final release.

Premake 5.0 generated projects can support:

  • 32- and 64-bit builds
  • Xbox 360 (Visual Studio only)

Add-on modules can extend Premake with support for additional languages, frameworks, and toolsets.

In addition to its project generation capabilities, Premake also provides a complete Lua scripting environment, enabling the automation of complex configuration tasks such as setting up new source tree checkouts or creating deployment packages. These scripts will run on any platform, ending batch/shell script duplication.

Premake is a "plain old C" application, distributed as a single executable file. It is small, weighing in at around 200K. It does not require any additional libraries or runtimes to be installed, and should build and run pretty much anywhere. It is currently being tested and used on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and other POSIX environments. It uses only a handful of platform dependent routines (directory management, mostly). Adding support for additional toolsets and languages is straightforward. The source code is available under the BSD License. The source code is hosted right on GitHub; file downloads are currently hosted on SourceForge.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
