Dear All,

Can someone please give me some advice on how I can create Makefiles
that have maximum portability. I am currently using Visual Studio C++,
and the project files it generates are anything but portable. I would
like to change to using Makefiles instead of the project files and
I've noticed that Visual Studio comes with a make tool.

The main platforms/compilers I would like to work with are VC++, GCC
(on Linux and on Win32 with cygwin)

If someone can give me this advice or point me to a link where I can
find it, I would appreciate their help very much.

Many Thanks

RG
