Windows VS Project to Unix Project

I would like to move my project; well 3 projects in one solution; 2 are Client and Server with the other an interface program, from Windows Visual Studio .Net 2005 to a GNU C++ environment on a Unix platform.

Are they any way of generating a make file to build the code on the Unix system. I know only a little about Make files.

I understand that Visual Studio 6.0 had an Export Makefiles facility, but this seems not to exist in the newer versions like VS 2005.

Any suggestions please.

Andy.

Well, I don't know of any automated way to do it, but even if you had a Microsoft style makefile it would be rather different than what you would need for GNU make.

I would suggest getting a Makefile to use as a template and then going from there. Also, if you have multiple directories of source it's generally easier to have one makefile per directory.

Here is a basic example for a single source file (barc.c)



CC=gcc
FLAGS=-g -Wall
LFLAGS=

TARGET=barc
OBJS=barc.o

all: $(TARGET)

$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(FLAGS) $(LFLAGS) $(OBJS) -o $(TARGET)

clean:
rm -f $(TARGET) $(OBJS) core *.core

.c.o:
$(CC) $(FLAGS) -c $*.c
