porting MSVS proj files to makefiles ?

Question

Does anyone know if/how to automatically generate makefiles from a .sln/.vcproj files of a C++ application in MSVS to be used to compile and build this application on Linux ?

Thanks, --Yariv

You can create a makefile from within Visual Studio. It's not exactly the same thing as in Linux, but the numner of required modifications is not too big.
