premake5: Cannot get the "Hello World" example to generate a Visual Studio solution

I am trying to generate a solution file for the premake5 out of the wiki example. https://github.com/premake/premake-core/wiki/Your-First-Script

Calling premake5 vs2012 produces the following error - Error: premake5.lua:2: attempt to call global 'workspace' (a nil value)

Does anyone know how to fix that? It looks like premake5 does not recognize the workspace() function. I followed the installation instructions and assume that I downloaded and unpacked the console utility correctly.

Sounds like you are running an older version of the code. The workspace() call was just introduced and will appear in the next alpha release, which should come out sometime next week. In the meantime, just use solution() instead; your code will still work when the new alpha arrives.
