Description

cmake --build makes CMake ideal for CI(Continue Integrate). I think direct building is good for Premake to replace CMake. My problem is it is hard to build a library with Premake using conan package management. See conan issue https://github.com/conan-io/conan/issues/1559.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the command line parsing and execution flow in Premake. Look at how existing commands like 'generate' work. Then design a 'build' command that triggers the native build tool after generating files.
