Locating Scripts
When Premake needs to load a script file, via a call to dofile() or include(), or a module via a call to require(), it uses the premake.path
variable to locate it. This is a semicolon-delimited string which, by default, includes the following locations, in the specified order:
-
Relative to the currently executing script
-
On the path specified by the
--scripts
command line argument -
On the paths listed in the
PREMAKE_PATH
environment variable -
In the
~/.premake
directory -
In the
~/Library/Application Support/Premake
directory (Mac OS X only) -
In the
/usr/local/share/premake
directory -
In the
/usr/share/premake
directory -
In the directory containing the currently running Premake executable.
Note that these search paths also work for modules (e.g. ~/.premake/monodevelop
) and system scripts.
You are free to add or remove paths from premake.path
, in either your project or system scripts. Any requests to load scripts after the change will use your modified path.
