I am currently facing an issue with linking errors when running my project using Premake5.lua with a specific configuration.
Here is the relevant configuration in my Premake5.lua file:
files { "src/**.cpp", "src/**.hpp" }
However, everything seems to work fine when I change the configuration to:
files { "**.cpp", "**.hpp" }
Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can resolve this issue?
Here is the full configuration code:
-- Include conan generate script
include("conanbuildinfo.premake.lua")
-- Script for cleaning workspace
include("cleanWorkspace.lua")
-- Main Workspace
workspace "ImageEditor"
-- Import conan generate config
conan_basic_setup()
-- Project
project "ImageEditorApp"
kind "ConsoleApp"
language "C++"
targetdir "bin/%{cfg.buildcfg}"
objdir "bin/%{cfg.buildcfg}/obj/"
location "src"
debugdir "app"
linkoptions { conan_exelinkflags }
files { "src/**.cpp", "src/**.hpp" }
includedirs { "./bindings" }
filter "configurations:Debug"
defines { "DEBUG" }
symbols "On"
filter "configurations:Release"
defines { "NDEBUG" }
optimize "On"
-- Tests
project "ImageEditorTest"
kind "ConsoleApp"
language "C++"
targetdir "bin/%{cfg.buildcfg}"
objdir "bin/%{cfg.buildcfg}/obj/"
location "tests"
debugdir "app"
linkoptions { conan_exelinkflags }
links { "ImageEditor" }
-- Add test files
files { "tests/*.cpp" }
includedirs { "./src","./bindings" }
-- We can also configure Catch through defines
defines "CATCH_CPP11_OR_GREATER"
filter "configurations:Debug"
defines { "DEBUG" }
symbols "On"
filter "configurations:Release"
defines { "NDEBUG" }
optimize "On"

EDIT I new to these and if someone can provide info how this setup should look for managing project and create unit tests for it i would aprritate it . Thanks.
These are the errors i get:

files { "src/**.cpp", "src/**.hpp" }
adds only cpp files and header files from src directory.
files { "**.cpp", "**.hpp" }
add in addition
includedirs { "./bindings" }
is not to add files from that directory, but to allow #include to search on that directory.
So you should have
files { "src/**.cpp", "src/**.hpp" }
files { "bindings/**.cpp", "bindings/**.hpp" }
or in single line
files { "src/**.cpp", "src/**.hpp", "bindings/**.cpp", "bindings/**.hpp" }
