enhancement request - can msvcmaker generate a Makefile?

[Dan Kegel]

Hi,
I only have msvc4.0.  It can't load the output of msvcmaker.

I suppose I should buy current msvc, or modify msvcmaker myself to
output a makefile instead of a project file.

That's an idea... has anyone tried building the conformance
tests with cl (i.e. microsoft's compiler's commandline interface)?

There is a request somewhere (and IIRC Patrik said he'll look into it
when he gets a chance) for instrumenting winemaker to convert .dsp
files into Makefiles, which is what you want, no? But when will this
happen -- I don't know :)

Since I don't need the .dsp at all, may as well directly create
the Makefile... whether a .dsp is also generated doesn't matter
for msvc4 users (all three of us).

The goal of winemaker would be to take a .dsp and generate a Winelib
makefile, not an MSVC40 makefile. The two are completely different and
incompatible. So thie would not help.
