X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.07 [en] (X11; U; IRIX 5.3 IP22) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com Subject: Re: Visual Studio Makefiles References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I was fighting with similiar project last year - and cursing Microsoft :-) DevStudio has built in tests for the "consistency" of the project files. One of these "tests" rejects the file if there is Unix newline instead of DOS cr-lf bs. Yet they did not bother to warn that there are obvious problems like several silently enforced size limits (e.g. max length of include paths is 760 chars or so). I gave up and switched fully to Cygwin make driving VC++ in batch mode. Be warned.
