VS 7.1 Linux Source code solution / project file?

ahluka · 07-28-2006, 12:59 PM

I did a quick google and didn't find much. I was just wondering if anyone has (or knows where to get) a Visual Studio 7.1 (.NET 2003) .sln / .vcproj file for the linux source code - not necessarily the latest.

I spent, well, a long time getting almost all of it into a solution, in it's own folders and everything, a little while ago, but lost it in "the unfortuneate event" last week-ish.

?

Yes, but wouldn't compiling the Linux kernel under Visual Studio result in an unusable kernel? I mean, VS only compiles for Win32, unless you have special plugins (such as for Xbox). What would be the point, then?

I think he want to use the source code browsing ability of VS.Net, to quickly find references, do searches etc.

@ ahluka
I assume you know the sln/vcproj are just text files (loosely XML based).
Once you've figured the structure, you can auto create them with a bit of perl magic

Thanks Salem I never thought about that. I'm going to do some snooping around today

kscope would provide great browsing functionality similar to vc's and you'd actually be able to compile it.

I don't want to be able to compile it. Just browse it and make "ooo" and "aah" noises.

There's a complete online linux kernel source cross-reference available.
