How to import MS Visual C++ 2010 solution or project into Bloodshed Dev C++ 4.9.9.2

Any suggestion on how to import MSVS 2010 solutions (.sln) or VisualC++ projects (.vcxproj) into Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2?

There is an option to import .dsp project files from VS 6.0, but that about all I could find.

Solution

  • The "IDE" doesn't support it in any way, and since development of it stopped a while ago, I imagine there are no plugins that would do it.

    You'll have to do it by hand, which probably would also require fiddling with source code, as Dev-C++ 4.9 has terribly old compiler.

    I recommend using Visual Studio Express edition, which even in 2012 version will open/convert your projects with ease.
