This wasn't all that clear in the docs I read, but what you are saying makes sense. Now the trouble is I'm not sure how to get rid of the 4.3-2 version that's on mentors. I can delete the premake4 mentors page which seems like it's probably the way to go, but makes me slightly nervous. Can anyone advise on how to best remove the 4.3-2 upload? > • is the double colon in the rules file some kind of cdbs thing? Yes.

I don't know much about cdbs so not sure which rule to override) As pointed out by Vincent, this is no longer used. I've removed the file. I haven't uploaded my changes yet, I thought I'd wait and see if anyone can advise me on removing the 4.3-2 version. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
