You are doomed. I think MSVC can export a Makefile, but its a microsoft nmake specific Makefile that no other make will touch. I have a similar problem making sure libsndfile and libsamplerate compile on win32. The easiest solution for me is to use autoconf/automake/libtool which works ofor all major unices, MacOSX and Win32 using MinGW or Cygwin. This also allows me to completely avoid the whole MSVC catastrophe.
