Hello, I started to make the MSVC projects looking into the Makefile.am files.

And yes those files are human readables ...

I can give you some hints in order to proceed:

- First you have to look into the gsl sources root Makefile.am
    The SUBDIRS variable give you the subdirs to be processed and the order
(from left to right).
    So in every Makefile.am file you can find a SUBDIRS variable or not (in
which case you are in
    a leaf dir).

- GSL is built from leafs to root directory and in every leaf dir is built a
pseudo library,
    and all this leaf libraries are linked together in the root dir (or in gsl
dir I can not remember
    now).

- In every Makefile.am in a leaf dir for building a test program you have
something like:

    bin_PROGRAMS= program1

    program1_SOURCES= source1.c source1.h source2.c source2.h
    program1_LDADD=-llibrary1 -llibrary2

So you can just follow more or less the Makefile.am files in order to now how
to proceed.

On the other hand you can just follow the structure of the Visual C++ projects
files and
use it to construct the borland c++ projects files and then export them to
makefiles (is
this possible?).

I hope to be of any help and not to confuse you more ;-).

Jose Miguel.
