Hello,
Is there any way (or program) to convert and maintain easily a C++
project (vs7.1) to a Makefile file, in order to build it in Linux?
Many thanks

As you've guessed, the information you need is in your .vcproj file. Be
warned that if you use any VC++-specific features, such as precompiled
headers or nonstandard APIs, especially the .NET Framework, this conversion
will be somewhat trickier. Automatic converters have been proposed by a
number of people ([1], [2], [3]), but none seem to have been made available.
Considering that generating dependencies is the most difficult part, you may
also be interested in solutions that autogenerate dependencies for your
source files. Then creating the Makefile would be a simple matter of listing
the source files and tweaking your flags and code. Such solutions exist, and
one good one that I've used is proposed in the GNU make manual:
GNU make manual: 4.14 Generating Prerequisites Automatically http://www.gnu.org/software/make/man...e_4.html#SEC51
I hope some of this helps. Please write back if you have any confusion or
additional issues.

Hello Derrick,
Many thanks, that's exactly what I was searching for. I have a 'large'
project (about 40 sources) of standard C++ code (no .NET, mfc or
something else, only STL) and I want to build it in linux, and manually
compilations is very annoying...
Thanks for your reply,

For 40 source files (I assume that is what you have and not 40 projects).
Manually creating a makefile should probably take less than an hour.

With that number starting with a tool like the GNU implementation mentioned
below that can extract the dependencies probably makes more sense.
