What are you trying to do?
I am trying to generate a visual studio project solution, that when used, can properly find the "previous ipdb".
What problem are you having?
The project solution when ran never finds the previously compiled ipdb, and therefore does a completely full compilation again.
What have you tried so far?
I have tried changing debugformat values, as well as various flags and options.
I have also tried directing the visual studio solution through premake to the location of the ipdb.
What version of Premake are you using?
I am using Dev Branch, compiled on my own.
Anything else we should know?
I have tried changing settings manually in the visual studio project without luck.
Here is my premake script.

Research direction
Start with the attached premake5.txt and reproduce the generated Visual Studio solution using the dev-branch build. Compare the generated project settings with the location of the previously compiled IPDB; done means Visual Studio finds the prior IPDB and avoids a full recompilation, verified on a repeat build.
