I am just looking for some guidelines, as this might seem like a very open question.

I have a project that has been compiled using Visual Studio 2008 sp1. I have to compile so it will run linux using gcc 4.4.1 C99.

It is a demo application that I didn’t write myself.

The source code is written so it can be cross-platform (linux, windows), so the code will compile and run on linux. However, has it has been developed using VS, I don’t have any makefile to use.

I could write a make file. But I am not sure about the dependences as there are about 20 files all together (*.c and *.h).

I am just wondering how can I write a makefile from a visual studio project? Is there any settings I can use? and what depends on what? Anything else?

Many thanks for any suggestions,

    The makedepend utility will scan the C files you give it, using C preprocessing rules to determine their dependencies and output them to a Makefile.

    This should do most of what you want.
