title: How to build Visual Studio Solution under Linux?
body: <p>I was always using Windows, have very limited Linux experience.</p>
  
  <p>My Visual Studio solution contains 5 C++ projects - 4 of them are static libs, and one is main application (that use these static libs), I want to move it to Ubuntu.</p>
  
  <p>I do not use any windows specific code, so with minor changes I should be abble to compile under Linux.
  How to do this? What exactly software should I use under Linux? What should I do with static libs, should I keep using static libs in Linux? How to convert Visual Studio solution to something Linux-like?</p>
  
  <p><strong>upd</strong> what if I just download Eclipse in Linux and then file by file, project by project, recreate and copy everything from VC++ to Eclipse? this should work, isn't it? I have just 100-200 files so it's possible to do this by hand.</p>
