Unable to find 'PremakeGen/0.1@memsharded/testing'

[woksteWork]

Hi, I am trying to execute the provided demo as I want to use Premake in Conan. At first I had the error:

\conan-premake-master\example>conan install .
Hello/0.1@memsharded/testing: Not found in local cache, looking in remotes...
Hello/0.1@memsharded/testing: Trying with 'conan-center'...
ERROR: Failed requirement 'Hello/0.1@memsharded/testing' from 'PROJECT'
ERROR: Unable to find 'Hello/0.1@memsharded/testing' in remotes

It seems that it can't find the example code. I resolved this by removing the references from Hello in the dependencies (from conanfile.txt and main.cpp) which is not a problem for now as I don't need that package anyway. Unfortunately, running the command again gave me the similar error:

\conan-premake-master\example>conan install .
PremakeGen/0.1@memsharded/testing: Not found in local cache, looking in remotes...
PremakeGen/0.1@memsharded/testing: Trying with 'conan-center'...
ERROR: Failed requirement 'PremakeGen/0.1@memsharded/testing' from 'PROJECT'
ERROR: Unable to find 'PremakeGen/0.1@memsharded/testing' in remotes

The package indeed doesn't exist on: https://bintray.com/conan/conan-center. However, https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/integrations/premake.html says packages are available. What am I doing wrong? What things can I do to solve this? Is this project still supported/used by people?

--

Edit: I just want to add that I use windows 10 and premake (4 and 5) are definitely installed. Visual studio 2015 is also installed. I have virtually no experience with conan, so I guess if something is wrong, it will likely be that.
Maybe I need to run additional commands. I basically installed conan and ran install on the example (after trying and failing to write my own).
Many thanks in advance.

For help with this, you might have better luck coming to the CPPLang slack channel in the #conan room and we can help you get a working premake generator. Visit https://cpplang.now.sh to join slack.

Alternatively, you will probably get more attention if you post your issue here, as it's monitored by the whole Conan team.
https://github.com/conan-community/community/issues

Of note, there will be an official premake generator very soon. It's just on the backlog.

Yes, lets make this generator built-in.
@solvingj I cannot find an issue for this, is there one?

i have not seen one

Sorry, for not replying earlier.
I have evaluated Conan for a project and based on the results, we chose an alternative. That means, we will have no direct need for it. Therefore, I didn't make an issue on the other issue tracker. I can make one if you want, though.

Thanks @woksteWork for the feedback. Well, if the reason to chose an alternative, was the integration with Premake, and you want to at least follow up on this integration, please do so, open an issue in the conan tracker. I would also be interested in knowing which alternative, specially if you are using Premake in all your project libraries, and you pretend to attach to it. Feel free to email [email protected] if you don't want to post details in public.
