visualstudio-made code portable?

I want to start new project now, because i now have the time and motivation :D I want to make my programm with qt so i can compile it under linux windows and other systems. My Question is how to get a visual studio project into compilable form for gcc and friends? imo visualstudio creates no real makefiles or anything ... i know microsoft compiler isnt that good, but i still like the gui of visual studio, with the integrated help and stuff ... at the moment i think about using dev c++. with this tool i have the posibility to use own makefiles (in this case created by qmake) easily, and it uses gcc so it will work on linux too ... summary^^: - can i get a makefile for gcc out of a vc project ? - can i use qt-makefiles in my visualstudio? (because otherwise i cant compile it with qt libraray) - is there any better gui tool than dev c++ ? for this purpose (for free) oneword: i want to work under windows for some reasons [Edited by - ronnybrendel on June 30, 2005 7:39:53 AM]

In most versions of Visual Studio, you can tell it "use my custom makefile command to build instead of the Visual Studio build stuff". In Visual Studio .Net (all versions so far), these options are in the project preferences.

You have to create a makefile-based project from the start, tweaking a few settings on an active project won't be enough.
Beware that maintaining dependency rules manually is quite error-prone..
