Re: Makefile Generator

[Steve deRosier]

Kris,

You might want to look into the Wine project.  I'm not intimately 
familiar with it myself, but from something I read recently I believe it 
might help.  It has a library that you can actually link to that maps 
the Win API.  Supposedly it lets you compile Windows programs (using 
GCC) to then run natively on Linux, without having to run it under Wine 
itself.

Though you'll probably have to write your own makefiles, I vaguely 
remember VC++ actually produces a text makefile if you tell it to.  That 
should be hand editable into something gnu make can deal with.  But it's 
been a while since I've used VC++ so your millage may vary.
