Overview

This solution contains technical and process guidance for migrating a software build process based on the UNIX make utility to Windows. When migrating the build environment, organizations must decide whether to port their build scripts on a UNIX portability environment on Windows or rewrite them entirely using Visual Studio. The technical information provided is targeted for the first scenario, although the process guidance can be used irrespective of the strategy adopted. The guide is structured according to the project's different phases, as described by the Microsoft Solution Framework (MSF). The early chapters are aimed at helping you choose the migration strategy right for your needs and plan your migration, while the later chapters are targeted towards helping you execute the migration.
