Have been developing a Visual Studio (2012) C++ project and wondered what would be the most convenient way of being able to copy it over to Linux so that I could re-compile the whole project there? Assume the C++ is platform-independent.
Would it be a case of copying all the .h and .cpp files manually in to one folder, copy that folder to Linux and then somehow creating a script (makefile?) which controls how the files are compiled? I'm not too sure if a makefile is what I require- but any mechanism so that I can compile the whole project from one command on the terminal?
