This make be a long shot here, but on Codeproject, there's an article on converting a solution to a Linux Makefile, and use that make file under VC6...Would this be useful?

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

Microsoft does not support that conversion. But there is some tool to convert from vc7 to vc6 projects. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/prjconverter.aspx

I do not know of such a tool. Instead, import the individual source files into a new VS6 project.

Doubtful. I am pretty sure Microsoft does not have anything like that.

I assume this is a C/C++ project? VS 6 was before .NET.

I guess your best option is to start with a blank VS 6 project and manually add the source files.

After adding the source files, attempting a compile should quickly tell you what library/include folders you need to reference.
