Hi there!
I want to compile project which is in sf.net, but many of them include makefile and I can't build with Visual Studio by just putting them all into new project. Is there any way I can compile the project which include makefile with Visual Studio? Could somebody let me know how I can compile such a project?

I tried Eclipse+CDT+Mingw Eclipse+CDT from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/galileo/SR2/eclipse-cpp-galileo-SR2-win32.zip
and Mingw from http://sourceforge.net/downloads/min...staller/MinGW%205.1.6/MinGW-5.1.6.exe/

But I still don't know how can I build the project. Anybody have a solution or document?

Why don't you just start a new appropriate Visual Studio project, and move the code into it?
