I recently got a sample C++ project that I would like to build and later enhance/maintain. However, it's a VS.Net project (i.e. it has a .sln file).

I don't have a license for VS.Net. Instead, I have Eclipse and the Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit installed. Eclipse uses makefiles for building its executables.

Does anyone know of a tool that can convert sln solution files to makefiles?

Thanks,
JC

I'd like the same... If you can get away with a command line option, you should be able to run something like

devenv /nologo "MyProject.sln" /build Release

But I am not sure if 1) Eclipse can call the command line like that, or 2) if the Toolkit includes devenv.exe
