Compiling requires Bootil and Premake to generate the project files.

You can either add the lib and include folder to your path, or copy all the files in, or set them on the premake command line.

premake4 --outdir="bin/" --bootil_lib="c:/bootil/lib/" --bootil_inc="c:/bootil/include/" vs2010

Or on linux

premake4 --outdir="bin/" --bootil_lib="/whatevs/bootil/lib/" --bootil_inc="/whatevs/bootil/include/" gmake

You will need premake5 for newer Visual Studio versions.

premake5 --outdir="bin/" --bootil_lib="../bootil/lib/windows/vs2017/" --bootil_inc="../bootil/include/" vs2017
