How to automatically regenerate project when solution file changes in visual studio? Something equivelent to cmake's ZERO_CHECK.

[speakfool]

Hi, maybe it's a bit dumb, but I cannot find related answers.

Currently I need to manaully invoke the premake.exe when project changes. How can automatic do this? In CMake, there's a ZERO_CHECK project that does the stuff, how is this done in premake?

Thanks!

Oh, I just saw it's on the list for premake6 in this link. Is there anything we could try now?

There seems to be something along the lines of what you are asking:

Thanks! Turns out it's too heavy for me and team.
We end up with adding an External Tool in Visual Studio, with a custom .bat commandline that runs premake manually.
Then assign it with a shortcut, solved partial of the problem.
