[Speex-dev] [PATCH] Add Visual Studio 2008 Prject files

[Keith Kyzivat]

Something to look into perhaps is Trolltech's 'qmake' tool.
It fills the role of something like autotools or now defunct imake.

As far as I understand, you can indeed use it for projects that don't do
anything with the Qt libraries.
Now, it may not have the support for multiple targets that it sounds like
are needed for speex, and I know it doesn't have as comprehensive of
platform-independent support as autoconf (i.e. it doesn't quite do
feature-testing, IIRC),
but it will generate project files, though it is unclear if it provides
creation of all the different versions of projects we're looking for (VC6,
VS2003, VS2005, VS2008).

It just seems ridiculous that 4 different project files have to be
maintained for one operating system, let alone the # of targets each one of
those project files needs to be customized for.
