Converting Visual Studio Express Projects to Code::Blocks

(1/1)

lmsmi1:
Well, I have a Visual Studio project with all of the files needed. It's WinAPI and some of the functions can't be found. Is there a tool I can use to convert Visual Studio Express project files to C::B files, or do I need to download the appropriate headers (if they're even avalible for DL)?

oBFusCATed:
What do you mean by convert the projects?
From your description is seems you're talking like you need an automatic tool for porting from VC++ compiler to GCC automagically.

lmsmi1:
Yes. That's what I'm looking for.

That is not possible - those compilers are not compatible at all, so there cannot be a 1:1 transformation. They have even a completely different concept and also focus on different platforms (Win only / cross).

So - C::B helps you by converting only obvious switches via the project importer, but you are responsible for fixing your code and using right flags as needed.
