How to add a Gem as dependency of another Gem?

Question

I'm using Ly 1.13 Beta

My component (inside my Gem) [need to use EmotionFx](https://forums.awsgametech.com/t/how-to-use-emotionfx-with-c/5070/1)

so I guess I have to add EmotionFx as dependency for my Gem, but I can't find any way to do this with Lumberyard Project configuration.

Accepted Answer

I guess we need to edit the [Dependencies in the file gem.json](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/latest/userguide/gems-system-gems-creating-a-new-gem-cmdline.html). Check [this example](https://github.com/aws/lumberyard/blob/9608bcf905bb60e9f326bd3fe8297381c22d83a6/dev/Gems/CloudGemTextToSpeech/gem.json#L32).

Then I guess we need to [re-create the VS project](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/latest/userguide/lmbr-exe.html) so the changes apply, with this cmd (assume the project name is Empty_Project

```
C:\Amazon\Lumberyard\LumberyardSDK\dev\Tools\LmbrSetup\Win>lmbr.exe projects create_vs_solution Empty_Project
```

Answer

But [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/latest/userguide/game-build-game-code.html) it said:

```
                              In a command line window, run the following to generate the Visual Studio solution:
lmbr_waf configure

```

Answer

I can't we just use "lmbr_waf configure" to apply the changes?

Answer

Have you even tried before asking me that? "lmbr_waf configure" (in Ly 1.13 Beta) doesn't work, I see it did read the file gem.json, but it didn't update (I guess) the VS project.
