make to vcproj (or even nmake)

[chris.love]

I'm trying to port a project from Linux to Windows. Currently on Linux
we're using GNU Make and... of course... makefiles.

Does anything exist out there to convert makefiles to vcproj files, or
even nmake makefiles in at least a semi-automatic nature?

I'm sure this gets asked a lot, but I can't seem to find an answer.

Thanks.

You could continue using GNU make. It won't be enough to set CC=cl and
LD=link, you'll actually need to write new rules, but should be pretty
straightforward.

Thank you, but the link isn't working for me.

For smaller things (maybe 30 files tops) that don't have any crazy
make rules, I've usually dumped all the .c/.cpp files into a new
Visual Studio project. That's usually a file or few too many, but it
works reasonably well. If you're willing to burn an hour or two with
a few compile runs, it works reasonably well.
