Simple question to all *nix programmers!

I've created a pretty big program in Windows (Visual C++). I've been careful to keep my code, interface and librairies cross-platform, because it would be nice to also have a linux version.

I've just hit the hard reality though that I have to do a makefile for the damn project. There's a pretty big number of classes and dependancies so I'd rather not do it, so I was wondering if there's something similar to Visual Studio in Linux that could avoid me the hassle of the makefile.

Many thanks!
 
VC++ has a feature, under the Project menu, to Export Makefile...

It should be able to generate an NMAKE makefile for you. This can act as a starting point for a Linux makefile.

It may be easier to just build a new makefile from scratch, though, rather than edit the generated VC++ one to fit a very different environment.
