Don't I need a xxx.c
source within a .vcproj
to make xxx.exe
? (How) Could MSVC create a .exe
without a same-named .c
source file?
Consider this .vcproj
: it's creating winhugs.exe
. The proj requires winhugs.h
, which is in that folder, various other winhugs.xyz
, which are also there; but doesn't mention winhugs.c
, neither is that anywhere in the repo.
winhugs
is a windowsified veneer over hugs
, and the proj does mention hugs.c
, which is in the repo. But hugs.c
is a Unix source, which compiles to hugs.exe
using make
/gcc, which I've already built successfully.
Is it possible the proj can also build from hugs.exe
to produce winhugs.exe
?
[I'm at MSVC v12.0, if that's relevant; but the sources all date back to 2006. That's why I have a .vcproj
, which is an obsolete format.]
