How to get cmake-style percentages in build

[AxorusMT]

Pretty simple question

In CMake, in a build, the build percentage is shown next to the file being compiled.

In premake, it just shows the file being compiled. Is there any way to enable this?

You want generation progress or build progress? For the former, it is related to premake and currently it just shows generated (project/solution) files. For the later, it would be part of IDEs/build tools and not related to premake.

CMake inserts itself in some build steps, so it uses that to display progress. premake generates the build files, and is not used in the build process anymore.
