We love patches =) developers talk code really. A patch is a representation of a code change; normally a unified diff - ie. please do the code changes yourself, no matter how small, and send a patch in. You can generate that easily with: git diff -u In general; it is more helpful to interact by asking a specific question to clarify your understanding. In general it is also polite netiquette not to top-post, and to cut the context of the mail to the minimum necessary for the discussion.

In theory gbuild could be taught to generate this vxproj files... gbuild is kind of object oriented, so it should be possible to run make in a way that generate these files and then be able to call make to build the product using batch invocation of visual studio build... Ad Hoc construction of these files would not work because they would become out-of-sync with the build pretty quickly. Of course the 80/20 rule apply here.. dealing with straight c++ compile + link is relatively easy.. dealing with all the other corner case fo the build is the hard part that would require substantial hacking to create visual-studio custom build rules than can then be invoked in a 'sln'... As I said in theory it is doable, but it is much more work to do completely than it looks at first sight... of course an incremental approach may be possible.. dealing with low hanging fruit first (iow module that do not have 'fancy' build step.. iow only straight forward compile + link) so that at least one could have a 'sln' that can do partial rebuild and debugging...) It just happen that no-one has felt the urge to scratch that particular hitch... most dev avoid as much as possible that awful platform. competent, motivated hacker that enjoy windows is, unsurprisingly, a rare breed...
