Multiple questions related to .vcxproj file generation.

[hanseul1795]

What are you trying to do? I'm trying to implement .vcxproj generation for vs 2015 and 2017.

What problem are you having? I need to add and remove some of the flags in the propertygroup and in the itemgroup

to add

• flags 1- WholeProgramOptimization 2- LocalDebuggerDebuggerType 3- DebuggerFlavor

• ItemGroup

  < None Include= "FileName/> (adding None)

to remove(flags)

1- ImportLibrary in ItemDefinitionGroup/Link

What have you tried so far?

tried to use flags to add those flags but it's not recognized. and for removing flags and None in itemgroup, I could not find anything on google.

What version of Premake are you using? premake5 --alpha

I'm sorry it's not overly clear what you're wanting here, but I've tried to give replies for some of what you wanted:

• WholeProgramOptimization can be set via flags { "LinkTimeOptimization" }.
• LocalDebuggerDebuggerType can be set with debuggertype.
• DebuggerFlavor can be set with debugger and you probably want these extra options.

Generally, you can search the repo for the VS elements that you want to set and you'll usually find the API that's used. cfg.<something> or prj.<something> will usually mean there's an API called <something>. For example, here is debugger: https://github.com/premake/premake-core/blob/09ee8334933e3953d96070047512820730518cc1/modules/vstudio/vs2010_vcxproj_user.lua#L81-L95
