Re: [Premake-users] precompiled headers

[john g. <joh...@ya...>]

Hello Ben and Jason,
Thanks for double checking me.  I forgot that I was using a machine that might
still be using the Premake SVN builds rather than the last official
release.  Until I do more testing, I won't submit a bug report. 
However, the SVN revision would be very near, and possibly beyond, the
latest release. Also, I am generating 2003 project files, not 2005. 
Another difference is the fact that I set my precompiled options like
this:
package.pchheader = "prefix/myheader.h"

package.pchsource = ""   -- Note, the empty string.


I am about to leave for vacation, so there is a slim chance I will
be able to submit any more information.  I sincerely apologize, but I
guess I'm the one that needs the feature anyway, so not too big of a
loss for others, right? 

Thanks for trying to help,
-John

Odd, this doesn't happen here with premake-3.3. I do the same thing for 
my own libs and it works fine:

    package.pchheader = "system/system.h"
    package.pchsource = "system.cpp"

For me, the project settings in VS2005 reflect exactly what is typed in 
the pchheader field.

Which version of premake are you running?

Can you submit a bug report? Please include a sample premake file that 
shows the problem you're having!

Thanks,
Ben.
