Um, why do you ask? This isn't a prerequisite for actually using
them. Unix and DevStudio are implemented by completely separate
groups, with differing goals and mentalities. Expecting anything to be
'exact replace' is going to be unlikely at best. As commented on this
newsgroup yesterday to a thread you started, .vcproj files are a big
text file. Open them up yourself in a text editor (notepad if you
don't have anything else), and learn by inspection.
And, no, it's not an exact replacement for a make file. Make files
list out dependencies. .vcproj files list source .cpp file(s) and
(optionally) header files, which aren't part of the actual build
process. Devstudio (or devenv.exe /build) require a .sln file to build
things. Makefiles can be a 1-file setup for building an entire
executable.
100%-compatible, but much closer). The .vcproj contains all the compiler
and linker options needed to build the project. msbuild can build from
