includeexternal

Evaluates a script, and marks any containers created by that script as external.

includeexternal("path")

For complex multi-workspace builds, it can be advantageous to have a set of projects that are generated by one workspace, and then used by the other workspaces as-is, without regenerating.

With this function, you can include a script which may contain one or more project or rule definitions. All such containers will be marked as external, and simply referenced, but not regenerated.

Parameters​

path is the file system path to a script file or a directory. See include() for a more complete description.

Availability​

Premake 5.0 or later.
