This allows EPICS programs to be developed directly inside of the visual C++ environment. To do this create a "makefile" project and place your gnu make command in the build configuration (accessed from the project/settings menu). You will also need to add GNU make and /bin/win32 into the Visual C++ -executable search path (from the tools/options menu).
