Specifies a set of build platforms, which act as another configuration axis when building.

platforms { "names" }

The platforms listed here are just names to be displayed in the IDE, with no intrinsic meaning. A platform named "x86_64" will not create a 64-bit build; the appropriate architecture still must be specified. For more information, see Configurations and Platforms.

Parameters

names is a list of platform names. Spaces are allowed, but may make using certain Premake features, such as command-line configuration selection, more difficult.

Applies To

Workspaces and projects.

Availability

Premake 5.0 or later.

Examples

Specify debug and release configurations for a workspace, with static and shared library "platforms" in 32- and 64-bit variations.

workspace "MyWorkspace"
  configurations { "Debug", "Release" }
  platforms { "Static32", "Shared32", "Static64", "Shared64" }

  filter "platforms:Static32"
    kind "StaticLib"
    architecture "x32"

  filter "platforms:Static64"
    kind "StaticLib"
    architecture "x64"

  filter "platforms:Shared32"
    kind "SharedLib"
    architecture "x32"

  filter "platforms:Shared64"
    kind "SharedLib"
    architecture "x64"
