Specifies the set of build configurations, such as "Debug" and "Release", for a workspace or project.

configurations { "names" }

A configuration encapsulates a collection of build settings, allowing the developer to easily switch between them. "Debug" and "Release" are the most common configuration names.

For more information, see Configurations and Platforms.

Parameters

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