Autoconf for Visual C++

Question

I want to build XZ Utils with MSVC++, but xz utils uses a Gnu Autoconf Script. Is there a way to import a whole autoconfed project into MSVC++, then build it? If not, is there a way to run the Gnu Autoconf script for MSVC++, then after that, just take all the source files, as well as config.h, then build it?

Answer 1

FYI XZutils is written in C99 and will not compile under MSVC without massive changes. Just build in MINGW and link to the static lib or dll.
