Genie (https://github.com/bkaradzic/genie) is a well known premake fork which uses internally Lua 5.3 (as opposed to version 5.1 used in premake4).
As there is some Lua's API breaks in Lua 5.2, SDL premake scripts do not works with premake.
The two incompatibilities I noticed were:
* unhandle modes "rt" and "wt" for io.open. Has io.open opens files in text mode by default, the "t" flag is not needed (this flag is not supported in Genie).
* os.execute signature change, the return value is a tuple from Lua 5.2, before it was just the called program exit code.
I think this was important for SDL 1.2 because some targets needed
special device memory for DMA buffers or locked memory buffers for use in
hardware interrupts or something, but since it just defines to SDL_malloc
and SDL_free now, I took it out for clarity's sake.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
