And one download of the .Net SDK later. . . I'm still stuck. From Microsoft's web page:
".vcproj files are not compatible with NMAKE. You must export a makefile to build with NMAKE."
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/html...).
Which brings me back to needing a .vcproj -> makefile conversion tool. At the moment, I can't find any references to anything other than the full version of Visual Studio being able to do this.
Cheers, Nick.
