I have about 20 projects that I ported from eVC++ 3.0 into VC++ 2005. That went reasonably well. Now I need to generate makefiles so that these projects can be built from a batch file. With eVC++ 3.0 all I had to do was select menu Project --> Generate makefile. I don't see anything like that in 2005 IDE or in the project's property page. Searched MSDN but it was no help at all.
Anyone know how to do it?
Thanks
Not looking good for you, it seems. I found a thread in MSDN forums, and if Martin Richter is correct, "since VS 2002 there no such option to export a project as a makefile".

Thanks for the disappointing info -- I wonder why M$ did that???
M$ didn't do anything. Someone at Microsoft likely decided the effort to change the makefile generator for the new .NET functionality wasn't worth the benefits.
You can use the command line or automation interface to build your projects. It may not be that difficult if they are all in the same solution with proper dependencies.
