Where can I find a tool to convert a VS solution to a gcc makefile?

Question

I know about CMake and bakefile already, but that is not what I am looking for.

Is there a tool that will generate a makefile given a VC project? (or at least a first attempt at one) so I don't have to do all the work by hand?

Alternatively, is there a tool that makes CMake files?

Following the link below leads me to this:

That is a great help. I have not tried it yet.

Answer 1

I am not aware of such a converter. There is however mpc that can create both makefiles and VC projects from the same mpc DSL.

supports multiple versions of make (GNU, Microsoft, Borland, Automake), Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual Studio 2003, 2005 and 2008.

Answer 2

As of version 1.1.19, Wine (http://www.winehq.com/) allows you to do something like that. It includes a tool called "winemaker" which originally was intended to aid in porting Windows C/C++ sourcecode to Unix platforms. So, originally, it was mostly concerned with converting line endings, fixing lower/uppercase issues and forward/backward slashes. But as of version 1.1.19 it can also take a Visual Studio project (dsp,dsw,vcproj or sln) file as its input and create a Makefile.
