Premake allows you to manage your project configuration in one place and still support those pesky ide-addicted windows coders and/or cranky linux command-line junkies. it allows you to generate project files for tools that you do not own. it saves the time that would otherwise be spent manually keeping several different toolsets in sync. and it provides an easy upgrade path as new versions of your favorite tools are released.

Premake is really great for generating project files for your source code, however this package is ANCIENT, and really really really needs to be updated. It's been years since 3.7 was released, and 4.3 has been out for VERY long. It's really sad to see such old packages in a modern system.

This package is ancient. A newer version of premake has been out for years. This older version didn't support what I needed to build Box2D, so I'm downloading the latest version from the website. As for the software specifically, as an end user I personally liked CMake much better. However, I haven't used either as a developer yet so I can't say for sure which one I prefer. CMake seems to be more popular.
