Is there any migration tool for visual studio to easy import open source software. For example i'm trying to import upx to test it on windows machine but having big trouble to import and configure all files.

Do you have some good links, or some advice of how to reduce pain of reconfiguration existing linux files?

Not really, so we have added all needed files to the solution. You better write clean ANSI-C with native types so you have little problems, and seperate "platform specific" stuff. Avoid nested macros - it is hell. If not now, than later. Some fizzeling with mak-files is possible...

But I guess these tips are too late for you.

I think such product would not really make sense. If some software is not designed for VS, it always can make its own peculiarities not covered by such a product. Not 100% sure though...
