Convert Borland makefile to MS Visual Studio

6 New Member
Hi,
I have a borland C++ makefile for a project created in Borland C++ which I wanted to translate into microsoft visual studio compatible makefile, so that I can build-Compile-debug the whole project in Visual Studio editor.

The obvious reason for this translation is that, I am not able to debug the whole project for some run-time errors.

can anybody help me out in this?

Your easiest solution is to create a Visual Studio project and add your source files it. Visual Studio will create the makefile when you build and destroy it when the build is complete.

Unless you have an unusual situation, you don't need to keep makefiles when using Visual Studio.

In order to make some very large projects available to other developers who do not use Visual Studio (or even Windows, in some cases), I need to generate standard-format Make files. In Visual C++ 6.0, there was an "export makefile" command on the "Project" menu. Now that I am using Visual Studio .Net 2003, I can no longer find this command. The help system provides no clue. I must have this capability! (I apologize if this is the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
