title: How do I create a makefile from a Visual Studio solution file?
body: <p>I have a Visual Studio project that uses a solution file to build it. I want to generate a makefile so that I can build it using the makefile instead of the solution file. (The reason I need to do this in case you are wondering is that I am incorporating my project into a larger software system that uses makefiles to build, and I want to be able to build the whole thing using the makefiles.)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to automatically get the information from the Visual Studio solution and convert it into a makefile format, or do I need to do that manually?</p>
